Cooley Distillery is an Irish whiskey distillery on the Cooley Peninsula in County Louth, Ireland founded in 1987 and owned by Beam Suntory. [5] Experience running a whiskey distillery business runs in the family as Connolly’s grandparents were once renowned distillers of illegal spirits. John Teeling bought a former State-owned industrial potato alcohol distillery in 1985. In less than two years, Teeling converted the distillery to have two column stills. In 1998, Cooley received a trophy at the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) for outstanding quality, and for earning an impressive reputation over time. Cooley was the first distillery to be awarded the trophy.

The distillery features both column stills and pot stills for distillation. Unlike most other Irish whiskeys, which are usually distilled three times, Cooley's products are generally distilled twice, as the third distillation is thought to remove some of the flavour components.

Connemara Whiskey has been largely celebrated within the Whisky world, having received several gold medals as well as the title of World’s Best Irish Single Malt Whisky. Galway hurling legend Joe Connolly recently launched his plans to open a whiskey distillery and heritage centre in Connemara. That might seem strange. But then consider Connemara, the place. As the people behind Connemara Whiskey well know, it’s a beautiful place situated on the West coast of Ireland, filled with rolling mountains and a glorious seaside that will leave you in awe of your surroundings. 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.

Gingers – A blended whiskey founded in 2011 by Minnesota bar owner and businessman Kieran Folliard. The 2 Gingers Whiskey Co. was acquired by Beam Inc. a year after the product was initially released. [14] It certainly has a flavour that stands up to that title. The nose opens with peat smoke and heather. These go perfectly together, strolling hand in hand over earthy undertones and a subtle malted quality. The building has been carefully designed to reflect the beauty of its surroundings because we want our distillery to be an attractive hub, with its Visitors’ Centre and Tasting Bar. The Tyrconnell – a single malt whiskey, The Tyrconnell was acquired as a brand by Cooley in 1988 after being dormant since 1925, when the old Watt's Distillery (the original producers of The Tyrconnell) closed.
