Have you had Connemara? It's a peated Irish whiskey. I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to whiskey but I know I like peat. If you've had that one, what's your opinion on it?
When I was in Ireland in the late 90s, we had lunch at one of the golf courses on a cooler, misty day. The bartender recommended this new peated Irish Whiskey and made us hot toddies with lemon, cloves and sugar in the raw (1/2 whiskey, half hot water). Turned out to be Connemara. We liked it so much we brought bottles home. For a few years, it wasn't available in the states. @RUInsanity brought me another bottle from that first release when he was in London a few months later. I still have that bottle in the original tube. For some reason, I've lost my taste for heavily peated whiskeys over the years, but I'll still make myself a hot toddy from time to time on a cold winter day.
