Varnished chestnuts on the nose followed by sweet black cherry soda on the palate. It's different. One could imagine an Irish style bourbon.

A gentle, self effacing dram. Vanilla, honey and dried apricots.

Connemara Cask Strength

Connemara Cask Strength, 57.9% abv

Wonderful sweet sherry and peat aromas, almost like eating sherry peat shortbreads. While clearly a robust dram, it is nevertheless gentle and very well balanced with sweet peat domintating throughout.

Round, floral notes moving to drier vegetal notes with a hint of ginger on the nose. Apples with incense accompanied by a very present, but not totally robust, drying mouthfeel. Medium finish.
