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.
