Connemara Cask Strength 70cl

Connemara cask strength is Connemara bottled direct from the cask at around 60% vol, this varies with each bottling. Prior to the industrial revolution, Irish distilleries dried the green malt over peat fires once the malted barley had germinated. The smoke rising through the malted barley gave it a distinct peaty flavour and aroma. As many of the distilleries in Ireland were located alongside a canal, the transport of coal to distilleries became far easier and cheaper. Over time peat was substituted with coal in the distilling process. Thankfully, Connemara has revived this tradition.
