Today’s review of the Green Spot Chateau Leoville Barton rounds up my short vacation in the world of Irish whiskey. It has been fun and it has left me wanting to explore some more. With tens of new distilleries on the way, the Irish whiskey scene could have lots to say.
As I get to the halfway point of my little Irish “vacation”, I look at the more boutiquey side of Irish whiskey.
