Unique to the world of Irish whiskeys Connemara Cask Strength is the only Irish whiskey to be produced from its natural strength. Surprisingly smooth at 60% alcohol by volume, the cask strength captures the essence of Connemara. Natural and undiluted, not chill-filtered or coloured in any way, Connemara Cask Strength reflects the rugged nature of the famous region in the West of Ireland. As extraordinary as the landscape, this whiskey is exceptional. Because it is so natural and undiluted, the level of alcohol differs between bottlings, and so labels are printed specially for each batch. The pure clear spring water from the Cooley Mountains united with the peated malted barley give the Connemara Cask Strength a rare flavour. Slowly maturing for long years in oak casks, the natural ingredients and traditional distilling methods employed by Cooley Distillery create a whiskey, which is simply spectacular.

That perfect balance of smooth Irish whiskey and honeyed spicy notes makes Irish Mist ridiculously attractive to cola. Flirt with us a while and uncover where it all began.

Irish Mist was the first liqueur to be produced in Ireland when commercial production began in 1947 at Tullamore, County Offaly. Tullamore is the hometown of the Williams family who were the original owners of Irish Mist. The company history goes back to 1829 when the Tullamore Distillery was founded to produce Irish whiskey. In the mid-1940s Desmond E. Williams began the search for an alternative yet related product. The search ended with the discovery of Irish Mist. Its roots can be traced back to an ancient recipe for heather wine which originated over a 1000 years ago.

Bright golden amber color. pleasant aromas of walnut nougat, hay, orange spice cake, and dried heather follow through on a soft, silky entry to a dryish medium body with creamy cereal, honeyed nut, mossy river stone, salt flake, and peppercorn notes. Finishes with a pleasant vanilla cream, mineral dust, and oak spice fade. A nice sipper.

This brilliant revival of a long-respected name in Irish whiskey hearkens back to the great classics. Redbreast is a very special single unblended whiskey, triple distilled in old copper pot stills at Midleton Distillery. It is the only 100% pure pot still Irish whiskey on the market today.

The whiskey is aged for at least twelve years in a combination of old Spanish Oloroso sherry casks and fresh American bourbon whiskey barrels.
The whiskey is traditional in style, being strongly flavored and assertive but not over robust or pungent.

It is a distinctively Irish whiskey, sophisticated and elegant with a smooth and mellow character, attributable to the special triple distillation process. Redbreast single pot still Irish is very much a whiskey to be drunk slowly so that its rare complexity can be truly savored. Taken neat in a cognac type balloon glass, it is a perfect after dinner drink.

Created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of La Maison du Whisky, this limited series is without a doubt one of the finest expressions of whiskey making in Ireland. This “Irish Nectar” is indeed a true collector’s item 46% ABV.
