    Feb 28, 2020, I came upon an unopened bottle of Cannemara in late my father-in-laws booze cabinet. I am the whiskey drinker in the entire family so I hoarded this bottle and am sipping this for the first time. LOVELY, sweet smooth and a nice underlying blast of smokey peat that doesn’t overpower the gentle sweet flavor of this Whiskey. Every sip of this Whiskey will be in honor of my father-in-law, May he Rest In Peace 🙏

      I found an airline bottle in my grandma's liquor cabinet (she had several mini airplane size bottles she wanted to get rid of) and it was phenomenal. It certainly did have some nice campfire notes, overall it reminded me of s'mores (of you're not from America that's campfire-toasted marshmallows with chocolate between honey graham crackers). IMO it's not my go-to sipper (that'd be Jameson, in the same way Guinness is my go-to stout) but it's definitely one of the best whiskies that Ireland has to offer.

      I just bought a bottle from a local store and the plastic seal was in place but unsealed so i cannot know if someone has opened the bottle or what has happened. I haven't tried it yet but I smelled it and it smells nothing like any whiskey I've tried before and I'm not an expert but have tried a few. But the smell strongly reminds me of something very recognizable but I'm not fully sure what but I think it may be Vicks Vapor Rub. Is that how it's supposed to smell you guys?

    Lovely whiskey for a budget 40% whiskey.
    They use Islay peated barley, apparently, which is a bit of a disappointment.
    Peated whiskey being an Irish thing rather than Scottish thing historically, so would love to see is there a difference between the original and the more contemporary Scottish stuff.

      @wijtzeheinvanderveen 3 роки тому

      It’s a called an Irish whiskey because it’s produced in Ireland, but it’s double distilled, and pure malt, so it’s more Scottish in nature. But it does have a slight honey note associated with Irish whiskeys.
      Also too bad it’s chill filtered and coloured, and only 40%, but it’s really worth the money. Especially ideal for people who already drink whisky, but haven’t really had much experience with smokey whiskies. It’s not too smokey, but has an herbal peaty note in it. Less so than Bowmore, but it’s there. It’s also a little spicey.
      It’s matured not too long, so the smoke is quite fresh, but not too short either, so the taste is still deep enough to be interesting (opposed to e.g. Arbeg Wee Beastie).
      Worth a try for everyone!
