Connemara 12 year Old Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey
The
newly released Connemara 12 Year Old is already causing a stir among whiskey
connoisseurs worldwide after scooping a Gold Medal at the World Spirit Competition
in San Francisco in March 2004. Reflecting the region of Connemara, this magnificent
12 Year Old revives the age-old tradition and heritage of drying malted barley
over peat fires. To the smooth, balanced malt and peat flavours of Connemara
Peated Single Malt is added the lingering wood aftertaste to produce a whiskey
of great complexity and sophistication. Truly, Connemara 12 year old has been
worth the wait.
John Teeling, Chairman of Cooley Distillery
said "Our blenders and quality consultants have made us release the Connemara
12 year old. They believe that it is one of the best whiskeys in the world -
bar none. It represents the pinnacle, to date, of Cooley distillation and maturing
skills. The soft waters of the Cooley Hills, the warm caress of the copper pot
stills, the breathing oak barrels from Kentucky, the ancient granite warehouses
of Kilbeggan and 12 years in a perfect whiskey climate have combined to deliver
this gem. We have very limited quantities, so savour while you can."
