Tasting
Nose
Upon nosing, Green Spot unveils a bouquet of familiar scents. Notes of malted biscuits and ripe peach mingle with the sweetness of honey and the crispness of red apple. There's a whimsical touch of cotton candy, balanced by the assertive presence of oak and subtle hints of potato starch.
Palate
With each sip, the Whiskey delights the palate with a symphony of flavors. Apricot and peach dance gracefully alongside the juicy essence of apple and pear. A gentle spiciness adds depth, while the lingering bitterness of oak lends complexity to the experience.
Finish
The journey concludes with a flourish of peppery warmth and a subtle undercurrent of bittersweet chocolate. The finish is long, leaving a lasting impression that beckons another sip.
Verdicts
Marcel
Green Spot delivers a lot of drinking pleasure with its fruity freshness and a hint of cotton candy, even though the oak can sometimes be a bit too prominent. For fans of the Irish character, it’s a pleasant companion, though it doesn’t quite reach the heights of the great classics.
Sascha
With a balanced combination of fruity notes and a noticeable oak bitterness, Green Spot shows a solid structure that occasionally lacks fullness. A typical representative of the Midleton style, it scores points for its balance but loses some depth compared to premium whiskies.
