Description
This rare cask finish contributes pomegranate, cranberry and maraschino cherry on the nose, a dry note to the silky mouthfeel and the finish combines classic long pot still spice flavours with a delicate wine influence, all in perfect harmony.
The Magic of Maturation
It is this stage that our Spot Whiskeys are arguably most famous for; it is these maturation variations that result in the spectrum of flavours, notes and colours of our Spot whiskeys, both in liquid and in name. Our Green Spot whiskey matures in a combination of ex-bourbon casks as well as ex-sherry butts for between 7 and 10 years—or until it’s ripe and ready. Green Spot is made in relatively small batches hence its high demand and rarity. Our Yellow Spot whiskey, often referred to as ‘the older sibling’, is matured for a minimum of 12 years in bourbon casks, sherry butts and Malaga casks to create a superbly complex whiskey. It’s a rare taste of a true whiskey bonders style of whiskey.
Our Green Spot Château Léoville Barton is initially matured in a mix of ex-Oloroso sherry and ex-bourbon barrels before being transferred into the ex-Bordeaux wine casks for between 12 to 24 months. The result: a distinctive & perfectly balanced whiskey with red wine seasoning. Robert Mitchell the seventh puts it succinctly – “You could say that Green Spot is the green apples, and Yellow Spot is the red apples.”
