Red Spot 15 Year Single Pot Still

Distiller review No. 800 Nose: I smell short bread cookies, caramel, toffee, malt, red berries, and baking spices. Palate: Oily, savory and semisweet, with butter cookies, dried red fruits, cereal, baking spices, toffee, caramel, and walnuts. Finish: Long and smoldering, with malt, cereal, red fruits, baking spices, and a bittersweet walnut note, which contrasts nicely with the palate. These notes are just the tip of the iceberg . Its very complex and super enjoyable! I have thoroughly enjoyed this nearly 5 year long journey of exploration, sampling many different types and styles of distilled spirits. I have challenged myself and palate, reaching beyond the safety of sweet red wines and rum and coke, into the spicy and smoky worlds of rye whiskey, Islay whiskey, and mezcal. But, can a leopard change his spots? I find myself constantly drifting back to the sweet end of the ditilled spirits spectrum. That’s my wheel house. Good to know thyself I suppose.

I actually prefer the Green Spot over the Red Spot. And Bushmills 16 over the Red Spot.
