Green Spot Château Léoville Barton Single Pot Still

A weekend of 4 Irish whiskey samples. 1/4 Green Spot (Leoville Barton) Nose: light but flavorful ripe yellow apples & pears with a sherry-like aspect. A good bunch of banana too. Then some delicious white chocolate / chocolate butter and honey sweetened cornflakes / puffs. Bright wheat bread. Very smooth with a bid of citrus. No alcohol noticeable. Very likable and nice. Palate: pan roasted grains / seeds / nuts. A shy sweetness but the wine sourness and dryness dominate. Only a very mild sharpness. Also a light nutty bitterness with some strong wood tannins. Now the fruity and dry wine aspects shine through ... Finish: ... and that is what remains into a medium long finish. Lightly fruity dry and oaky. A very fine and interesting whisky with medium intensity and a characteristic cask style.

Nutty, sweet, butterscotch. Mild burn. Very enjoyable if not overly complex.

Nose has notes of strawberry and raspberry. The whiskey first notes are darker berry and oak. It retains finishing notes of slightly spicy, like a single pot still whiskey. Very unique whiskey with great flavor!
