AboutCooley Distillery
Cooley Distillery began in 1987, when an industrial alcohol plant on Ireland’s Cooley Peninsula was converted to whiskey production. Its malt whiskey is distilled twice, and the smoky Connemara single malt is one of its distinctive styles. The distillery’s history also includes Greenore single grain, Locke’s malt and the Inishowen blend.
Locke’s 8 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Irish Whiskey
Rich fruit and barley malt lead the aroma, with seasoned oak and a quiet floral lift. The palate is full-bodied and gently mineral, bringing cereal sweetness, mixed citrus peel and soft malt into a rounded texture. Oak gives the middle measured structure without obscuring the grain. The finish is steady and warming, returning to malt, fruit and restrained wood spice.
Greenore 8 Year Old Single Grain Irish Whiskey
Irish Whiskey
Vanilla and caramel give the nose a mellow opening, followed by seasoned oak, orange peel and a faint smoky spice. The palate is creamy and smooth, with sweet grain, allspice and sandalwood adding depth without becoming heavy. Earthy notes bring balance through the middle. A warm, measured finish carries caramel, oak and gentle smoke, leaving a softly spiced, quietly persistent impression.
Inishowen Peated Blended Irish Whiskey
Irish Whiskey
Sweet malt and deep vanilla open a full, rich aroma, with a restrained thread of peat smoke underneath. The palate brings malt and grain together, balancing sweetness with refined dryness. Smoke becomes more apparent toward the close, joined by dry spice and lingering vanilla. The result is richer than a typical light blend, with malt depth and peat kept in clear proportion.
