Connemara 12 Years Old Peated Single Malt

About this product

Malt Advocate Magazine ' s 2010 Distillery of the Year . TASTING NOTE : Nose : Youthful , with myriad citrus notes trying to outdazzle the gathering peat ; shows great subtlety and fun ; Taste : refreshing , with the barley insisting on behaving half the age it actually is . The smoke appears lethargic but grows into a spicy crescendo ; Finish : lots of vanilla amid the dusty malt ; lots of coffee fudge to balance the smoke ; Balance : the best bottling yet with complexity a byword here . Score : 91 ( Jim Murray , Whisky Bible , 2007 )
