- Description
- Connemara's 22-year-old peated Irish single malt represents the upper limit of age for this distillery's core range at the time of release, offering a mature expression of Irish peat character. Extended maturation mellows Connemara's peaty foundation, allowing wood spice, dried orchard fruit, and subtle smoke to integrate into a cohesive whole rather than compete for attention. The Irish approach to peat produces different character than Scottish examples—less aggressive, more herbal and honeyed. For those seeking aged peat expressions outside the Scotch distilleries and willing to explore Irish whiskey's smoke tradition.
