Joe Connolly is most famous for being a Galway hurler. He successfully captained the county to victory in the All Ireland Hurling Championship in 1980. It will provide employment, draw in tourists and add value to other businesses in the area,” Connolly explained to the Connacht Tribune. Job creation – a boost to the local economy Credit: thewildatlanticway.com The plans that Joe Connolly revealed are for creating a multi-million-euro whiskey distillery and heritage centre. It will be called the Cnoc Buí Whiskey Distillery & Heritage Centre and will be located just outside Carna in County Galway. Overall: Not in the same category as peated Islay malts in this price range, which have depth of flavor and complexity beyond what this Connemara can reach. Still, it is an interesting take on a peated single malt, and is well-crafted without bitterness or off-notes. Notable for its individuality among the Irish category, but not something that your average malt-head will choose over an Islay malt like Lagavulin 16, Laphroaig 10, or Caol Ila 12.

The Connolly family told the Connacht Tribune that they viewed the Cnoc Buí facility as “an asset which will enrich the entire community”.Each and every Member must be of legal drinking age in its country of residence to be allowed to use the Service.

Connemara was introduced to the world during the early stages of the current whisky boom, when independent Davids were taking on stagnant industry Goliaths to great success and international renown, and boundaries and envelopes were being pushed with every release. Ahh, the halcyon days of 2010. Even though every stone in the whisky world has been turned over since then, Connemara remains the only peated Irish whiskey. It is also rare in that it is double-distilled (not triple, like many Irish whiskies) and a single malt. The brand consists of an entry-level NAS “Connemara Peated”, this 12 year-old, and a cask-strength NAS edition. Connemara and the Kilbeggan Distillery (formerly Cooley) are now owned by Beam Suntory. Ahh how the underdogs have been slurped up by the industry titans, a sort of Saturn Devouring His Children played out in the whisky industry. There’s an image for you. The plans describe a top-of-the-range distillery that offers a first-class visitor experience with bonded warehousing, a tasting bar, a bottling hall, a heritage centre, and a shop and café. The Cnoc Buí facility – an important asset to the local community Credit: Youtube.com / HE GAA Connolly himself was also excited about the impact that the whiskey distillery and heritage centre could have. He said, “It will be a real game-changer for the area in regard to job creation. Finish: Long. Vanilla. Earthy, meaty peat finally, with notes of roasted mushrooms and tofu. Mild, cake-dough cereal note. No bitterness. The whiskey distillery and heritage centre will also be conveniently located along Ireland’s prosperous and famous Wild Atlantic Way in Connemara.The distillery will create more than 30 jobs in its first five years. Furthermore, the heritage centre hopes to attract up to 16,000 visitors in its first year. It’s expected to have 52,000 visitors per year after five years.

Nose: Green, vegetal peat. This is just how I imagine smoked cucumber would smell, if such a thing existed. The peat smells like it was composed entirely of green leafy things decomposed in inland bogs (no sea notes). Lime peel. Watery.
