Green Spot Chateau Montelena Finish is a Single Pot Still whiskey with a distinct Irish character and an elegant wine influence from Napa Valley, California.

Expert Review

Green Spot Chateau Montelena Irish Whiskey is a Pure Potstill Irish Malt Whiskey, bottled at 46%.

The whiskey is triple distilled and matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, before its finishing maturation in wine casks from Chateau Montelena, one of Napa Valley's most acclaimed wineries. The whiskey builds on the historic tradition of Mitchell & Son in Dublin, where Green Spot could originally only be bought as a classic grocer's whiskey. This edition preserves that heritage while adding a modern twist through the wine casks.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Green fruit, apples, grapes, vanilla and the spiced pot still note.

Palate

Full and creamy with malt, honey, light spice and a wine-driven fruitiness with a hint of tannin.

Long, soft and fruit-driven with a touch of oak.

"Unquestionably one of the world's great whiskeys," writes whisky critic Jim Murray in his Whisky Bible about Green Spot – and it's hard to disagree.

Expert Review

Green Spot Pure Potstill Irish Whiskey is a Pure Potstill Irish Malt Whiskey, bottled at 40%.

The whiskey is triple distilled at the Midleton distillery, and matured and bottled for Mitchell & Son of Dublin. Green Spot is one of Ireland's oldest and most beloved whiskey brands, with history dating back to 1887, when the Mitchell family's grocery business sold its own bottlings of local whiskey. The style is softer and more summery than the full-bodied, oily character found in Redbreast. The colour is golden maple syrup with amber-tinted edges. The nose offers grated citrus and orange peel, melding with barley malt and malt sugar. The palate evokes Ireland's soft, grassy hills: green apples, cloves and velvety oak sweetness.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Grated citrus and orange peel, barley malt and malt sugar.

Palate

Green apples, cloves and velvety oak sweetness.

Finish

Rich, with brown spice and a fine, toasted cask character.
