An 11 year old Pot Still Single cask Greenspot..

TASTE:Rich silky texture with the pot still spices slowly building over time while he fruit character and soft tannins work in balance with some vanilla sweetness. The oak remains constant in the background adding depth and structure.

FINISH: Lingering with the fruit and spices slowly fading, leaving the oak have the final say.

Whiskey Exchange – 26yo Green Spot Single Cask 1991

• Tasting notes by Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange

  • NOSE

    Brown sugar, papaya, barley sugar and cigar boxes – a wide ranging hint of things to come. Fragrant oak and fruit are wrapped around a core of mixed peel. More fruit sits underneath: sultanas, raisins, apricots, peaches and crunchy pears. Butter, vanilla toffee, anise and baking spices float around above.

  • PALATE

    Spiced fruit cake gallops across the palate pulling a wagon of fruit: gummi chews and wine gums, stewed apples and pears, and a touch of apricot. Darker notes of spiced shortbread and cocoa powder develop, with hints of black liquorice. The fruity core remains, with candied fruit notes building.

  • FINISH

    Sharp fruit and spice fade to leave chocolate brownies and wine-gum fruitiness.

  • COMMENT

    Fragrant, elegant and complex. The three types of cask have done their bit and layered fruit and spice on top of the rich pot-still spirit. One to contemplate.
