A weekend of 4 Irish whiskey samples. 1/4 Green Spot (Leoville Barton) Nose: light but flavorful ripe yellow apples & pears with a sherry-like aspect. A good bunch of banana too. Then some delicious white chocolate / chocolate butter and honey sweetened cornflakes / puffs. Bright wheat bread. Very smooth with a bid of citrus. No alcohol noticeable. Very likable and nice. Palate: pan roasted grains / seeds / nuts. A shy sweetness but the wine sourness and dryness dominate. Only a very mild sharpness. Also a light nutty bitterness with some strong wood tannins. Now the fruity and dry wine aspects shine through ... Finish: ... and that is what remains into a medium long finish. Lightly fruity dry and oaky. A very fine and interesting whisky with medium intensity and a characteristic cask style.
