N: Lemon, coconut, banana, dried strawberry, peach, pear. Lemon cookies. Something earthy and herbal, like a tea, but also maybe basil. Shortbread covered in sweet jam (probably strawberry, but lots of options). Occasional tropical notes break through, mango in particular. More sweet bread and/or vanilla bread pudding. P: It's hard to pick apart the fruit here - it's like if you dumped one of those little mixed fruit cocktail cups all into your mouth at once, and especially the juice at the bottom of the cup, and then just started chewing. Then grab some shortbread and add that to the mix. That's close to the first 2-3 seconds of this being in your mouth. It's kinda equal parts intense, overwhelming, and awesome. After all that, heavy and yeasty vanilla bread pudding starts to smooth out the edges and transitions to the finish. Finish is vanilla cream first, then herbal, medicinal, even minty. I did not expect that. Over time, the pot still spice builds to a pretty serious intensity - close to chili pepper type heat - but also backs off of the herbal/minty and transitions to a nice baking spice flavor and character (cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg) that sits nicely on top of that still lingering vanilla. This is a really good, tasty whiskey. I highly recommend it. That statement out of the way, I think the Green Spot is a better value. I think Redbreast 12 is a better value. I think Redbreast 12 Cask Strength is a vastly better value (even if an unfair comparison). So, this is excellent juice, and I have definitely enjoyed the bottle - had to pace myself a bit to make sure I saved some for this review - but I have a hard time imagining buying another. I just love the lively and fresh sort of swill-ability of the Green Spot too much to pick this over that probably nine times out of ten. And then there's the Cask Strength Redbreast (review forthcoming eventually) - an absolutely delightful monster that I paid about $15 less for than this. So, the message is, buy Yellow Spot. It's fantastic. But also buy Green Spot and Redbreast. You won't be disappointed by any of them.
