Single Pot Still — Ireland

Nose: coconut, green apple, fresh cut grass, powdered sugar, sweet malt
Palate: ginger, coconut, tropical fruit, malt and slight ethanol toward the end.
Finish: medium-short with cereal notes and a ethanol ding
Green Spot is an outlier Irish whiskey to me. It has very unique nose and palate that I have never come across in another whiskey. I don't usually associate tropical fruit and coconut candy with Ireland but they somehow put it in their whiskey. The only weak point is the finish which is short and has a slight ethanol ding. I can probably attribute this to the 40% ABV. However, unlike most 40% whiskeys, it stops short of feeling thin.
Overall, this expression is light and delicate without being too simple making it perfect for both seasoned whiskey drinkers and newcomers.
