Nose - Butter biscuit, fruit, berries, and spice. Palate - Green apples, honey, tangerines, and vanilla. Finish - Cocoa, graham crackers. Green Spot is an Irish single pot still whiskey aged in both bourbon barrels and sherry casks and the result is a wonderful combination of shortbread malt, fruit, oak spice, and vanilla. On the nose, this smells like a traditional Irish pot still whiskey with the normal shortbread cookie aroma, but then you pick up on more subtle notes of dried berries and fruit from the sherry casks. The taste is warm and well-balanced considering there are a handful of different flavors to sift through. Every sip presents another layer of complexity. It tastes like it is much higher proof than it actually is. Putting Green Spot side by side with Redbreast 12 is an apples to oranges comparison. Both are excellent Irishy whiskies and each brings their own unique smell and taste.
