Clontarf 1014 Trinity Pack
Clontarf 1014 Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Weak nose, almost watery. Tastes coppery without much else to redeem it to my palate. With the addition of water you get a strong burst of earthy, washed-rind cheese (or gym sock, depending on how your taste buds interpret that particular note for you.)
Clontarf 1014 Reserve Irish Whiskey
This has a nose like someone distilled the pennies out of a shopping mall wishing well. Really unpleasant copper and chlorine. BUT. If you can get past that, it tastes really lovely. Sweet and creamy with a tiny, tart bite, like a citrus custard.
Clontarf 1014 Classic Irish Whiskey
This also has a nose like wishing fountain pennies. It also redeems itself upon tasting. Similar to the Reserve but with some spice elements. Upon the addition of water, the spice blooms in a nice fiery way but the copper tang also comes back through pretty strongly.
