Enjoying the Connemara 12 Y this evening.
This particular dram shatters a few perceptions.
Ireland is generally not known for peated whiskies, but it does have some surprises, such as this one.
And there’s also the (incorrect) perception that peated whiskies are generally dark in colour. Not so this one. One of the lightest whiskies I’ve come across.
Peat aside, you also get some citrus notes, plus a bit of green apple.
It’s a gentle whiskey for a quiet Sunday night. Perfect for tonight.
