Gains its distinctive character from being matured in two woods. During maturation it is transferred from a traditional oak whisky cask to a first fill Spanish oak sherry cask. Each stage lends different qualities to the single malt – the traditional casks having previously held bourbon, soften and add character, whist the sherry wood brings a depth of fullness and flavour.
Nose: Sweet fruit and olorosso sherry notes, layered with honey and vanilla.

Origin: Ireland
Natural and undiluted, not chill-filtered or coloured in any way, Connemara Cask Strength reflects the rugged nature of the famous region in the West of Ireland. As extraordinary as the landscape, this whiskey is exceptional. Because it is so natural and undiluted, the level of alcohol differs between bottlings, and so labels are printed specially for each batch.
Nose: A strong and concentrated aroma of peat emerges from this unique Irish Cask Strength Whiskey amplifying in intensity when it reaches the nostrils.
Taste: A very strong aggressive start with an enormous peat surge in the middle. Then fireworks of aromas explode in your mouth (fruits, spices, pepper, chocolate…) uniting with the peat to give a truly complex taste.
Finish: Astonishingly long finish with peat clinging to every crevice in the mouth while remaining sweet and glorious.
