Cooley Distillery is located in County Louth, Ireland, and was founded in 1987. The distillery is notable for its independence and unique approach to whisky production, being one of the few distilleries in Ireland that operates under the ownership of Beam Suntory. Since its inception, Cooley has carved a niche for itself by producing a variety of whiskies that reflect both traditional and innovative techniques. The distillery boasts a production capacity that supports a diverse range of expressions, including single malt, single grain, and blended whiskies. Cooley employs double distillation, distinguishing itself from many Irish counterparts that favor triple distillation. The character of Cooley whiskies is marked by a balance of peat smoke, sweetness, and rich fruit notes, complemented by spices and malt. Notable expressions include Connemara Original and the Connemara Distillers Edition, which showcase the distillery's signature flavor profile. Visitors can explore the distillery by booking tours, gaining insight into the whisky-making process and tasting the finished products.
