Connemara Cask Strength 1990's

Connemara Cask Strength (1990s Old Bottling) is one of the earliest and rarest expressions from Ireland's pioneering peated whiskey revival. Produced at Cooley Distillery and bottled at a robust 57.7 ABV, this old bottling dates from the late 1990s, when Connemara reintroduced the traditional art of peating Irish malt after more than a century of decline. Non-chill filtered and bottled at natural cask strength, it showcases an elegant style of peat that differs from Islay whiskies—gentler, fruitier and distinctly Irish. Early glass-printed label editions have become increasingly difficult to find, making them highly desirable among collectors of vintage Irish whiskey.

**Please note this bottle comes with no tube.
