Whiskey Wednesday (Patreon)

Today's whiskey is Green Spot Léoville Barton and I have to thank a dear friend for this bottle. It was an absolute delight and you can see from how much is left that I enjoyed it. This was over a couple of days, mind you. 😋 I do love my Irish and this was a sweet one with the Bordeaux finish.

Here are some notes form Master of Malt:

The first ever single pot still Irish whiskey finished in Bordeaux casks! The choice of Bordeaux wine is also significant - Ch. Léoville Barton is not only a highly-regarded grand cru Château, but one that takes it's name from the Irish 'Wine Geese' winemaker Thomas Barton. In fact, Léoville Barton is still run by his descendants to this day. This bottling is a celebration of shared Irish heritage.

Matured initially in a mixture of ex-Oloroso Sherry, fresh American oak and ex-bourbon barrels, this Green Spot whiskey is then finished in the ex-Château Léoville Barton Bordeaux wine casks for 12 to 24 months.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Wild raspberry, a little pot pourri, crab apple, honey and gingerbread.

Palate Toffee, green apple, lemon peel, vanilla, redcurrant and warming spice.

Finish Long and quite dry with cereal and plenty more spiciness!]
