I tried this a few years ago at an Irish whisky tasting and just picked up a bottle today. Looking forward to tasting. Here goes!
Nose: A lot of tropical fruits here. Especially pineapple and mango. Definitely plenty of green apple here too. Fruit, fruit, fruit.
Palate: Initially rich but not as sweet and fruity ad the nose would suggest. Caramel apples present themselves and linger. There's a butteriness here that is very pleasant as well. Very slight amount of spice.
Finish: Long and not disappointing - typical for an Irish whisky. The sides of the tongue and back of the palate tingle, lingering for some time, begging my brain to imbibe some more.
Overall delicious, really easy to drink but complex to interpret. My typical Irish go-to and gold standard is Redbreast 12, so I had a quick taste of this to compare. Green Spot much sweeter and Redbreast is much spicier. Both delicious in their own way but Redbreast 12 takes the cake in my mind still.
