Summary

Green Spot Château Léoville Barton is a unique single pot still Irish whiskey that has been finished in Bordeaux wine casks from the renowned Château Léoville Barton. This finishing process imparts a distinctive character to the whiskey, blending the traditional pot still spices with the rich, fruity notes from the wine casks. The result is a complex and layered spirit that offers a delightful balance of flavors and aromas.

On the nose, this whiskey presents a vibrant bouquet of red berries, orchard fruits, and a hint of oak. The palate is equally engaging, with a harmonious mix of sweet fruitiness, creamy vanilla, and subtle spice. The influence of the wine casks is evident, adding depth and richness to the overall profile.

The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of fruit and spice that gradually fade, leaving a warm and pleasant aftertaste. This whiskey is an excellent choice for those looking to explore the interplay between traditional Irish whiskey and the nuanced flavors imparted by wine cask finishing.
