Green Spot Irish Whiskey

Description

This single pot still whiskey from Ireland uses malted and unmalted barley to give it a unique spiciness. Clove, apricot and oak toast aromas evolve to flavours of cedar, clove, apple and ginger. The long finish echoes spicy notes of clove, nutmeg, and ginger. Serve neat to fully appreciate its glorious complexity.

Tasting Notes

Green Spot is that rarest of beasts, a surviving Irish pure pot still whiskey ... Only a limited number of bottles are produced each year, making Green Spot one of the more elusive whiskeys on the market, but it is very definitely worth seeking out. The nose is sweet, with nougat and maraschino cherries, plus a contrasting bite of pepper and rye. Coconut and cedar when water is added. Smooth, oily and insinuating in the mouth, with a pleasingly spicy cereal and citric edge. Medium to long in the finish, with ginger and a hint of Sherry. At its best undiluted. Score - 4 Stars (out of 5). (Gavin D. Smith & Tom Cannavan, whisky-pages.com, Undated)

Savour with smoked salmon or a Dublin coddle
