- Description
- Green Spot's Irish single pot still character is elevated here through a finishing period in Zinfandel casks from Château Montelena in Napa Valley, part of the Wine Geese series celebrating Irish winemakers abroad. The wine cask influence adds layers of ripe red fruit and subtle oak spice to the pot still's characteristic orchard and cereal notes, while maintaining the creamy, full-bodied texture the style demands. A distinctive bridge between Irish whiskey tradition and Californian winemaking heritage, best savoured neat to appreciate the interplay of both influences.
