Green Spot Quails' Gate

Nose: Shortbread cookies, almond biscotti, barrel spices, vanilla, cocoa, cherries, red grapes and oak. Really nice. Palate starts bitter and ends bitter, but in between is pretty nice. Spicy, a bit silky, with floral, fresh and dried fruit, baking spices, vanilla and cocoa notes. Finish: Lengthy and spicy. Distiller Review No. 993

Aroma offers ripe pear, buttered bread, white grape, honey, cantaloupe, candy corn, vanilla cream, and cake batter. Ethanol is nil. Very pleasant. Palate brings stewed pear from the nose, candied orange, cranberry, clove, light honey, vanilla, barley, and toasted oak. Definitely not lacking in flavor. Finish consist of some sharp unattenuated alcohol (92 proof?) pot still funk, almond, apricot, white pepper, and tannic astringency/bitterness. Mouthfeel is a very buttery medium-bodied, but overall the finish misses the mark a bit. Easily the worst of the Green Spot wine geese series. There is an overall sharpness to the affair that doesn’t seem to need to be there. While it far from sucks, at 104.99 it just isn’t close to a rebuy either.

Nice, mild whisky. Very pleasant taste

Nose: classic irish malt on the nose, a nice strong creamy white oak, getting a hint of cherry and raspberry. Pear, baking spice as well. Palate: berry and cherry on the palate for sure. Vanilla, cream soft oak. Dried cranberries show up as well as the red apple. Baking spices continue. Buttery Shortbread. Incredibly drinkable and smooth for 92 proof Finish: light toasted oak. Mild fruitiness, red apple skin.
