Connemara 12Y

Refined peat. Rich malt. A truly rare Irish dram.
From the windswept wilds of County Louth, inspired by the rugged beauty of Connemara itself, comes one of Ireland’s most distinctive single malts — Connemara 12 Year Old. Crafted by the Cooley Distillery, this whiskey bridges the gap between Ireland’s smooth triple-distilled tradition and the smoky allure of Scottish-style peat. Matured patiently for twelve years, it’s a bold celebration of craftsmanship, terroir, and time — a rare Irish whiskey that dares to be different while remaining unmistakably Irish.

Each sip tells a story: the scent of peat smoke rising over emerald hills, the hush of the Atlantic wind, the warmth of malted barley drying over a turf fire. The extended maturation brings out remarkable depth — from honeyed sweetness and toasted oak to smouldering peat and spice. Connemara 12Y is the spirit of Ireland’s untamed landscapes captured in a glass — smooth, smoky, and utterly captivating.

For whiskey lovers in Ireland, this bottle is a true treasure: a single malt that combines heritage, innovation, and a whisper of wilderness.

Why we love it:
Connemara 12 is a true outlier in the Irish whiskey world — gently peated, beautifully aged, and unmistakably refined. A must-try for fans of smoky whiskies and collectors seeking something unique in the Irish single malt landscape.
