The Temple Bar Traditional Irish Whiskey was created by Tom Cleary, the owner of the Temple Bar, and is a blend that matured in Bourbon and Port wine barrels. It is bottled at 40% ABV and priced around $39.99-$40. The maturation in port wine casks gives the whiskey more depth and notes of dark fruits, while the bourbon casks provide vanilla and malt character.
The nose is typically, pleasantly Irish, with honey, red fruit, hay, pears, and a hint of spice from the sherry. In the mouth it is light but substantial, with vanilla, apple, malt, biscuits, and honey cream.
