Clontarf 1014 Classic Blend Whiskey 70cl

Clontarf is a favorite of mine. It is my " go to " smooth and crisp to my palate. always a joy to enjoy

A bargain at under 20 euro in supermarkets. Equal to Jameson. Smooth

Soft taste but complex in its fruitiness and that nice vanilla in the background. Very much like Jameson yet a bit more complex

Failure to triple distill is quite evident. For a smoother inexpensive whiskey, go with Clontarf or Tullamore DEW.

I got this under the assumption it would be a mediocre irish whiskey for me to down, cheaply and economically without too much regret taste wise. Boy did I underestimate this. This is an exceptionally smooth whiskey, from what I've tasted of Irish Whiskey's, which belies the delicate, rich flavors lying underneath.

The nose you immediately get a faint sourness with vanilla cream. Taste is very mild at first, building on bitter and sour notes, which evolve into a soft cream flavor that finishes with a very mild, peppery-oak spice. I can see from some of the other reviews that they have on here that it's well appreciated.

It would be nice if the spice flavor was more refined, so you could really get that bourbon spice that's just hinted at, but I suppose it works fine as it is, after all, you're getting a darn smooth and delicately flavored irish whiskey here that competes with most middle-shelf whiskeys and at a far lower price.

I became a fan of Clontarf 1014 about ten(?) years ago and then suddenly last year it wasn’t available in my home province of Manitoba. I love the smooth clean taste of this product. I drank the last of this last month and now I will go into mourning. It was a quick affair and I do miss it so. :(

Great whiskey for the money, one of the best kept secrets on the shelf

Заслужава всеки цент!? Меко, плътно и пивко уиски...

But with this stuff I felt like I needed one. It was a bit rough to me, I was onthe cheap last night and the $ I saved did not make it worthwhile. I would not purchase it again and will stick with my Powers on my cheap days.

I don't drink much Irish whisky, but this tasted like grain alcohol and not much else. It went down easily, but wasn't really good for anything but getting drunk. I wish I had spent my money on a bottle of bourbon instead.
