The 12-year-old edition of Connemara single malt has a full, rounded and complex flavour that is both smooth and smoky at the same time. The peat smoke is well integrated and is perhaps a little less pronounced than with the standard bottling and the cask strength.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Very pale yellow. 

Nose: Fresh and lively. Lemon and orange zest with a touch of creamy vanilla. Some restrained and harmonious peat smoke.

Palate:  Initially sweet and fruity but with some very welcome smoke. Flavours of pears, apples, vanilla cream and a touch of gingery, spicy oak. Quite light in body with some typical Bourbon cask character.

Finish: Medium, smoke, turfo, burned wood, lemon and a little fruit.

Land: Ireland

Distillery: Kilbeggan

Alcohol by volume: 40%
