UPDATE

I went the "safe" way and got me a bottle of jameson to get me started. Had about 8-9 of them on the rocks yesterday and i must say that im not quite sure what i think. :) It is very different from most scottttttish whisky for sure, both in smell and taste. What my pallet found was a taste of caramel, honey and an overall fruity taste. It was not bad at all, but a taste i think i need to get abit used to. And i will work on that :D

Sure, and thx rpm. Ill post the same question when i get to bourbons :)

Tullamore Dew. yummy.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

There is only one way to spell whiskey, with an e. Whisky is just an imitation. :p  All Scotch mist.

Of the four, I have to admit I never heard of Clontarf whiskey. So know nothing about it. Not sure why they call a whiskey after a dull suburb of Dublin city? Ok there was a battle there in 1014 against the Vikings, note that Nilsen :aok  We won! That might influence your decision as to whether you like it or not.

Of the others. I tend to drink Jameson. Although I like Bushmills and only had Tullamore once or twice.

Very popular in Ireland is Powers Gold Label which I don't think is exported much. It's a bit like Jameson only a bit lighter. I still prefer Jameson.

It's true about the Bourbon barrels, they are used to for ageing Irish whiskey.
