Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whisky

Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is produced by the Midleton Distillery, Co Cork. The brand itself was created by Mitchell & Son Wine Merchants. The Mitchell's originally bought full casks of mature whiskey from the Jameson Bow street distillery and had these cask transported to their bonded warehouse in Fitzwilliam lane. When these cask reached certain ages they would paint a coloured spot on the cask to mark these milestones. A Green Spot was marked on the casks to mark 10 years old. These were such sought after whiskeys and such an iconic brand that they have now been recreated by Irish Distillers.

Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Clearly sherried. Orange peel and candied ginger. Tangy and somewhat herbal. Green pear and cotton candy. Honey-lemon throat lozenges. After a rest in the glass, there is a fibrous fruitiness, like the skin of a red delicious apple. Even further in is a faint whiff of the nutty coconut I associate with bourbon-matured pot still whiskey.

Palate: Unctuous body – mouth coating. Minimal burn. Spicy ginger, apple cider, and nondescript grain.

Finish: Medium length, the honey and lemon lozenge remains behind as the spicy notes fade. No trace of bitterness. Simple and refreshing.
