Description

Discover the smooth, exceptional taste of two Irish Liquors. Unique among Irish whiskeys, Connemara is the only Irish Peated Single Malt Whiskey widely available today. Inspired by the 18th century art of drying malting barley over peat fires, Connemara possesses a distinct peaty flavour and aroma, instilling a delicate smokiness and smooth, sweet taste. Its complex peat flavours and smooth, sweet malt taste make it a truly unique Irish whiskey. Connemara is a highly decorated Irish whiskey receiving over 20 medals in major spirits competitions since 2012.


Irish monks and nuns invented Poitín in the sixth century. Over subsequent centuries, the Irish and Scots refined the process of aging poitín into whiskey, also known as “uisce beatha”—the water of life. In 1661, it became illegal to produce poitín, giving birth to the world’s first moonshine category. Poitín remained a clandestine art and enjoyment for over four centuries—until the Irish legalized it on May 7, 1997. To this day, unlicensed poitín may be found hidden on the top shelf of the pantry in Irish homes, kept on hand for special celebrations. At 90 proof, Smuggling Nun Poitín is authentically strong but also exceptionally smooth and flavorful, making it an excellent aperitif or digestif, as well as a standout in cocktails.


Also included are two crystal high ball glasses and several cocktail recipes for the Smuggling Nun Poitín. Whether you're a seasoned whiskey enthusiast or new to the spirit, these Irish liquors promise a refined, accessible experience that will have you coming back for more.
