Clontarf 1014 is a triple distilled Irish whiskey produced by the Irish Distillers subsidiary of Pernod Ricard. Originally called "Clontarf," the whiskey takes its name from the Battle of Clontarf in 1014 in which Brian Boru, the High King of Ireland, defeated an army of Vikings.[2]
The brand has launched several marketing initiatives, including one in 2008[3] and most recently in 2011, when new packaging was released to highlight the 1000 year anniversary of the battle of Clontarf.[4] Clontarf 1014 is 40% abv.
