Expert Review

Green Spot Leoville Barton Irish Pure Potstill Irish Whiskey is a Pure Potstill Irish Malt Whiskey, bottled at 46%.

The whiskey is first matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, before receiving its finishing period in wine casks from the renowned Bordeaux château Léoville Barton. This gives a deep, fruity and wine-driven dimension that lifts the classic Green Spot profile in a darker, more complex direction. The nose offers ripe red berries, light spice, vanilla and the characteristic pot still spiciness. The palate is full and rounded, with notes of dark grapes, blackcurrant, malt, caramel and a mild tannic structure from the wine casks.
