Reviewed March 2017Attention wine-lovers: Meet an Irish whiskey aged in former Bordeaux wine barrels—specifically, barrels from Château Léoville Barton, established by native Irishman Thomas Barton in 1725. The end result is a grassy, bright whiskey with a baked pear note mid¬palate and a subtly smoky finish. (KN)

Mitchell & Son’s classic whiskey finished for 1 to 2 years in wine casks formerly used by the Barton family in the St-Julien appellation. Spiced apple, redcurrant, blushing pink young raspberries, with a deeper earthiness, like a hedgerow run wild. An autumnal character: apple, rhubarb, ginger, piquant fruits, more vanilla, then a finish of sweetened apple and peppercorns. A definite imprint from the higher-strength pot still. It feels like the wine has shaped, sculpted, and finessed the whisky beautifully. À votre santé! (JM, Winter 2015)
