The process begins by drying malted barley over peat sourced from the bogs of the Connemara region in western Ireland, imparting a phenol level of approximately 14–15 ppm — notably lighter than many peated Scotch whiskies, which often reach 30–40 ppm. The spirit is double-distilled in small copper pot stills, a departure from the triple-distillation method common in Irish whiskey, then matured in ex-bourbon casks that contribute layers of vanilla and caramel to the smoky foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet barley and gentle wafts of peat smoke open the nose, followed by hints of kippers and well-baked apple crumble.

Despite its name referencing the Connemara region of western Ireland, the distillery itself is located on Ireland's northeast coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat foods pair well with Connemara 12?\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoked salmon benefits from the whiskey's complementary peat and fruit character. Dark chocolate (70%+ cacao) draws out the custard and vanilla notes. Aged cheddar or Gruyère mirrors its earthy, malty depth. Grilled lamb chops echo the smoky, rustic quality. Pear tart or poached pears connect directly with the orchard-fruit nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does Connemara 12 come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Connemara 12 Year Peated Single Malt is available in the standard 750ml bottle size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Connemara 12 worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e Connemara 12 positions as a mid-premium expression — priced above the no-age-statement Connemara but competitive with 12-year single malts from Scotland. Its rarity as the only widely available peated Irish single malt with a meaningful age statement gives it a unique value proposition within the broader whiskey category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Connemara 12?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo other Irish single malt in wide distribution occupies this space — a peated, pot-still-distilled whiskey with a 12-year age statement. That alone makes it a genuine outlier in a category dominated by unpeated triple-distilled expressions. The Beverage Testing Institute's 94-point rating and back-to-back IWSC Gold medals confirm that the whiskey delivers on substance, not just novelty. For anyone who appreciates the interplay between fruit sweetness and smoke but wants something gentler and more approachable than Islay single malts, Connemara 12 fills a gap that nothing else on the Irish shelf currently does.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connemara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44836987535529,"sku":"24849","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Connemara-12-Year-Peated-Single-Malt-Irish-Whiskey-750ML__74640.jpg?v=1730475868"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/connemara.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
