Green Spot, an Irish single pot still whiskey, invites connoisseurs on a journey through the lush landscapes and vibrant flavours of Ireland. With its roots in Midleton's distilling heritage, this expression promises a flavour of tradition with a modern twist.

Nose

Upon nosing, Green Spot unveils a bouquet of familiar scents. Notes of malted biscuits and ripe peach mingle with the sweetness of honey and the crispness of red apple. There's a whimsical touch of cotton candy, balanced by the assertive presence of oak and subtle hints of potato starch.

Taste

With each sip, the Whiskey delights the palate with a symphony of flavors. Apricot and peach dance gracefully alongside the juicy essence of apple and pear. A gentle spiciness adds depth, while the lingering bitterness of oak lends complexity to the experience.

Finish

The journey concludes with a flourish of peppery warmth and a subtle undercurrent of bittersweet chocolate. The finish is long, leaving a lasting impression that beckons another sip.

Thoughts

Green Spot is a typical Irish whiskey, clearly reflecting its Midleton heritage. It's fruity and fresh, but it can feel a bit thin and may lean towards a slightly bitter oak taste. While it might not stand up to Redbreast, it's still a solid choice for those who enjoy Irish whiskey.
