Wild Geese Single Malt

If you've ever tasted Connemara peated whiskey you'll recognize this. As you'd expect for an Irish whiskey it's sweet with overripe apples and some pureed almost creamy pear. But that's all offset by a sooty burned-dust smokiness and some gentle spice. It's quite soft and easy-drinking and the taste is never less than interesting. But these days it's up against some stiff competition.
