Connemara – 12 Year Old (70cl, 40%)

Connemara – 12 Year Old is a whisky from Connemara (County Louth). Aged 12 years, bottled at 40% ABV, 70cl. Cooley Distillery - originally owned by the famous John Teeling who sold it to Beam Inc. (later Beam Suntory) in 2011 - is nestled in the foothills of the Cooley Mountains in Co. Louth, with access to clean, pure water from the Slieve na gCloc river that runs down from the mountain and right by the distillery. Both patent and pot stills are used at Cooley allowing it to produce both malt and grain whiskey, reinvigorating old famous brands such as Kilbeggan and Tyrconnell while also allowing it to create new brands such as Connemara Peated Single Malt and Greenore Single Grain Irish whiskey. Winner of numerous international plaudits - this truly is a great effort from distillers, Cooley. From their small batch collection and bottled at cask strength.
