Initially matured in traditional sherry and bourbon casks, Green Spot Château Léoville was then finished in Bordeaux wine casks, adding an exciting new dimension to this single pot still Irish whiskey already renowned for its excellent quality.
Tasting Notes
Nose: it is the contribution of the French oak which drives the initial aroma adding some crisp woodland notes to the spicy pot still character. The wine seasoning brings a delicate touch of floral perfume and a hint of ripe berries such as raspberries and strawberries, these are in addition to the orchard fruits typical of Green Spot.
Palate: The familiar mouth coating effect is very satisfying balance of oak and spices. Some vanilla sweetness works in harmony with the dry wine influence, while the fresh orchard fruits and French oak combine effortlessly with barley grains to complete the complexity.
Finish: The rich French oak character is slow to fade leaving the wine and spices, of France and Ireland, with the last word.
