Clontarf Blended Irish Whiskey

Clontarf Irish Whiskey is a triple-distilled Irish whiskey named after the historic Battle of Clontarf in 1014, a significant event where High King Brian Boru defeated Viking invaders near Dublin. This whiskey aims to embody the spirit of Irish resilience and heritage.

Key Features:

• Irish Origin: Produced in Ireland. Initially by Castle Brands, it was acquired by Irish Distillers (a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard) in 2021. Production takes place in County Cork.
• Blend: A blended Irish whiskey made from a combination of grain and a smaller proportion of pot still whiskey.
• Triple Distilled: Following traditional Irish methods, it undergoes triple distillation.
• Maturation: Primarily aged in ex-bourbon barrels.
• Filtration: Notably filtered through Atlantic oak charcoal, a process they highlight for its contribution to the whiskey's mellowness and clean taste.
• ABV: Typically bottled at 40% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Often presents light and sweet aromas with notes of vanilla, honey, and subtle fruit (like apple or pear). Some detect a hint of spice and a touch of grain.
• Palate: Generally smooth and light-bodied with flavors of vanilla, a gentle sweetness, and hints of toffee or butterscotch. Some find notes of citrus or a slight maltiness.
• Finish: Typically described as clean and relatively short, with a mild spice and lingering sweetness.

Overall Impression:

Clontarf Irish Whiskey is generally positioned as an accessible and good-value Irish blend. It's often appreciated for its smoothness and easy-drinking nature, making it suitable for both sipping neat or in mixed drinks. While some reviews note a lack of significant complexity, it's often considered a solid entry-level Irish whiskey.
