Chinkapin, a type of North American oak, is the sole wood used to mature this pot-stilled whiskey. Here, it imparts a deep, burnished gold hue and bold, dessert-like aromas and flavors: think dulce de leche, vanilla cookies, spiced cocoa and cinnamon heat. This is the debut expression in the “Wonders of Wood” series in partnership with Tree Council of Ireland. Kara Newman 

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
