Clontarf Classic Blend Irish Whiskey

Whiskey: Clontarf Classic Blend Irish
A blended Irish whiskey, Clontarf Classic was originally a 100% grain whiskey from Cooley, but these days the product has a very small amount of malt in it, with the grain supplied by Irish Distillers.
Size: 750ML
Proof: 80 (40% ABV)
Origin: Ireland
Distillery: Cooley Distillery
Clontarf comes in a normal, clear glass bottle that shows off the whiskey’s fine light straw coloring. The bottle has screw cap, which would be a sign of cheapness in bourbon or scotch, but is fairly typical of Irish whiskey. Clontarf Classic is blended and bottled at 40%. Like most Irish whiskeys, Clontarf is triple distilled and aged in used bourbon barrels. That touch made Clontarf sweeter on the nose and tongue than I had come to expect from Irish whiskey. Both the scent and the taste bear strong toffee and butterscotch undertones, yet retain the light, smooth texture of Irish whiskey.
