Connemara Cask Strength (1990s Old Bottling) is one of the earliest and rarest expressions from Ireland's pioneering peated whiskey revival. Produced at Cooley Distillery and bottled at a robust 57.7 ABV, this old bottling dates from the late 1990s, when Connemara reintroduced the traditional art of peating Irish malt after more than a century of decline. Non-chill filtered and bottled at natural cask strength, it showcases an elegant style of peat that differs from Islay whiskies—gentler, fruitier and distinctly Irish. Early glass-printed label editions have become increasingly difficult to find, making them highly desirable among collectors of vintage Irish whiskey. **Please note this bottle comes with no tube. Tasting Notes Nose: Gentle peat smoke, marmalade, vanilla, toasted nuts, green apples, citrus zest, floral notes and light maritime freshness. Palate: Sweet malt, lemon barley, orchard fruits, silky peat smoke, cracked pepper, oak spice, dark chocolate and subtle herbal notes. Finish: Long, warming and smoky with lingering malt sweetness, toasted oak, pepper, gentle peat and a dry, elegant finish.
