New Green Spot Chateau Leoville Barton

[William]

Irish Distillers have unveiled a new permanent addition to the Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish whiskey core range, the Green Spot Chateau Leoville Barton the first ever Bordeaux wine cask finished Irish whiskey.



The new whiskey was initially matured in a traditional mix of ex-Oloroso sherry, new Bourbon and ex-Bourbon barrels the same maturation method used for the standard Green Spot we are already familiar with. The whiskeys were then transferred into ex-Bordeaux wine casks for between 12 and 24 months and Irish Distillers tell me that this has imparted distinctive, floral flavours of varying intensity.

Bottled at 46% ABV, Green Spot Chateau Leoville Barton is available from this month at the recommended selling price of £42 from whisky shops such as The Whisky Exchange
