Cooley Distillery was founded by John Teeling in 1987 with the vision of bringing diversity and choice back to the dwindling Irish whiskey industry. Located in the picturesque Cooley Peninsula, the distillery revived dormant historical brands and pioneered peated Irish single malt.
Connemara is produced at the Cooley Distillery, which revived the historic 18th-century Irish tradition of drying malting barley over peat fires. This double-distilled single malt offers a uniquely Irish take on peated whiskey, combining peat smoke with classic Irish smoothness.
