PEATED SINGLE POT STILL WHISKEY

20PPM | 10 YEARS

OUR PEATED SINGLE POT STILL WILL BE MADE IN THE TRADITIONAL STYLE, UNIQUE TO IRELAND. MALTED AND UNMALTED BARLEY, TRIPLE DISTILLED

Traditionally described as pure pot Irish whiskey, this style was once the most popular dark spirit in the world. Almost lost to the mists of time, the resurgence in pot still whiskey is one of the success stories of the growth in Irish whiskey globally.

A combination of malted barley, unmalted barley, water and yeast. The malted barley will be produced to our individual peat (20PPM) specification by dedicated maltster houses located across the island of Ireland. The whiskey will be aged for 10 years in Bourbon barrels to deliver the classic style of triple distilled Irish pot still but with a uniquely smooth smoky flavour.

With the demand for peated whiskey increasing across Europe, the USA, and in developing markets our Irish peated pot still whiskey from the Cnoc Buí Distillery will certainly differentiate us from those looking for new ways of enjoying peated whiskey.

By combining peated Irish malt and unmalted barley our whiskey will have a distinctive smooth, velvet, full and oily texture with a sweet and smoky long lasting finish.

PEATED SINGLE POT STILL WHISKEY

28PPM | 10 YEARS | BOURBON & OLOROSO AGED

OUR MEDIUM PEATED SINGLE POT STILL AGED IN BOURBON AND OLOROSO CASKS

The balance of peated pot still aged in Bourbon and Oloroso casks is a rarity across any whiskey landscape. But here in Connemara we will age our whiskeys for 10 years in a combination of these casks.

The rich Sherry character of Oloroso will come through and combine with the unmalted and medium peated malted barley produced to our individual specification (28PPM). This triple distilled pot still whiskey will bring a unique balance of smoke and sweet to the palate.

Pot still is the whiskey of choice for those in the know and has seen unprecedented demand in the last few years - peated pot still brings this classic Irish style to a new level. Cnoc Buí Single Pot Still Irish whiskey will also carry the saltiness of the coastal warehouses and the influence it will have on our Bourbon and Oloroso casks.

Imagine the spice yet slightly salty character of this pot still and an evidently richly peated and sherried full mouthfeel, the hallmark of a great style of whiskey.
