I was surprised by how rich and delicious this peated malt is. Kanemara Connemara 1992-2008 16yo Whisky Live Tokyo 2009 #4328 58.6% One of 250 bottles The aroma has a strong peat with notes of apricot jam, iodine, seafood dashi, nuts, oil, rich, and when you drink it, a smooth mouthfeel expands powerfully with the flavors of apricot jam, iodine, seafood dashi and barley's umami, a strong sweetness with the richness of honey, and a pleasant oak finish with a long aftertaste. [Good/Very Good] The Kanemara 1992, 16-year-old was bottled during the Whisky Live Tokyo event in 2009. Kanemara is a peated Irish malt whiskey made at the Cooley Distillery. The aroma has a rich fruity sensation like apricot jam, along with strong peat notes that include iodine and seafood dashi, giving an oily impression and a rich feeling. When you drink it, there is a powerful expansion with the expected rich fruits, seafood dashi, peat, and barley umami. The sweet, honey-like richness is also a good impression, making it so delicious that I was unsure whether to rate it as Very Good. It must have been a more robust peated malt when first bottled. Now, the drinking experience is excellent. #Irish (IRISH)
