Green Spot Quails' Gate Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Finished in Pinot Noir Wine Casks Limited Edition NV
IrelandA barely red colour penetrates the original Green Spot green-gold hue. Initially matured in American oak and ex-sherry casks, the completed whiskey then spent another 16 months in Quails' Gate pinot noir barrels shipped to Ireland at the pandemic's start. The result is an ethereal red fruit scent that threads through the whiskey. Ripe cherry and juicy raspberries are lightly embedded in the ultra-smooth texture of the whiskey. The palate is silky sweet, a harmonious mix of trace dried cranberries that disappears into the signature Green Spot red apple, sweet pear, vanilla and woodland spice (nutmeg). Complex and comforting, this is a terrific sip. It is a perfect partnership and a unique twist for what is already an iconic whiskey. Available by the glass at Quails' Gate Old Vines Restaurant.Tasted: 09 March 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $110.00 | 750ml | Select Private Retailers; June 2023 BCLS Whiskey Release |
