Green Spot Château Léoville Barton (70cl, 46%)

An Irish single pot still whiskey from the Midleton Distillery in County Cork. After traditional maturation in ex-Bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, it receives a finish in ex-Bordeaux wine casks. This finishing gives the whiskey an elegant complexity and makes it one of the more innovative variants in the Spot series. It is bottled without colouring and is chill-filtered. The nose shows fresh green apple, ripe pear and a hint of spicy oak. The palate is velvety with baking spices, nutty barley and a fine fruity sweetness. The finish is long and elegant, combining red fruit with a light wood note.
