Green Spot Irish Whiskey Finished In Chateau Montelena Casks
Ultimate Beverage Challenge 95 points - Liquid of deep, rose gold is viscous with odors and mirroring flavours of cedar wood, fresh moss, straw, cracked pink peppercorn, clementine peel, pickled fruit rinds, toasted tobacco leaves, smoked leather, grape vine stems, and sour berries for an incredibly rich drinking experience. - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Finalist) .April/2018
Whisky Advocate 91 points - From Calistoga, California to County Cork, this zinfandel-finished whiskey has bramble, damson jam, red apple, and glace cherry, with cake mix, flaked almonds, and a steel-tipped edge of spice. Red apple, lemon peel, pithy orange, and crunchy red apple, teasing spice, with just a suggestion of mint mingled into the dry, spicy finish.
