Let's also mention that the phrase Turf Mór in the name of the expression means "Big Peat" in the Celtic language.
Connemara Turf Mór (Irish Single Malt, 46% abv)
Nose: Peat is quite pronounced. Sooty and coaly. As the glass gets a little airy, toffee and citrus notes reveal themselves. Intense, sharp character.
Palate: Fruity flavors such as apricot and dried figs are accompanied by soot and cinnamon. In addition, it slightly burns the tongue, as if chewing a grain of black pepper. Lastly, I also bought slightly salty flavors. Complex and delicious.
Finish: Long finish. Salty and charcoal.
Comment: I can say that I like the Connemara Turf Mór expression in general. I especially liked the fruit-is-black pepper harmony on the palate and the salty flavors at the end. Compared to Connemara Peated Original, I would say Turf Mór is a slightly more aggressive whiskey.
