Shieeeeet. Pretty impressive, don’t you think? They market all of their products under the master brand of \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Kilbeggan\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Connemara is different… \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;REALLY different\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. It says “Irish Whiskey” right up front on the label, but it is not what you expect. Sure, it’s a Whiskey and it’s made in Ireland. But Connemara is a \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Single Malt\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, where most Irish Whiskeys are a grain mixture. And all Connemara Whiskeys are \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;peated\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. Now look at that map of Ireland again. The Connemara is made closer to \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Islay Scotland \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;— just across the Irish sea. And that is what it tastes like.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The good folks at Cooley Distillery have crafted a \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;premium\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, peated Single Malt Whiskey that you would swear comes from across the sea. So, is Connemara 12 an Irish Whiskey? Legally yes, to your taste buds maybe, but \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;what matters\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; is that if you enjoy high-end Bowmore or Laphroaig, you should consider this troublemaker too. Need another reason? Connemara \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;has probably won more awards\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; than the Scotches we’re comparing it to! \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45132210372790,"sku":"39276","price":21.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/connemara12yearoldpeatedwhiske_39276_01_8711e8df_328edf9e-70af-4c75-b6a5-27e2dc5c8d9b.jpg?v=1779122892","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/connemara12yearoldpeatedwhiskey-700ml-39276","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
