A delicious edition of Green Spot Irish single pot still whiskey which has been finished in casks that previously held Zinfandel wine from Chateau Montelena in Napa Valley, California. It's the second in 'Wine Geese' series, all of which feature whiskey finished in casks from wineries run by Irish winemakers around the world – the family currently running Chateau Montelena was originally from Waterford!
Vibrant notes of fresh summer berries and pineapple, balanced by underlying heat of cedar.
Brown sugar and creamy vanilla, mixed with a few touches of fried dough. Cinnamon and white pepper in the background.
Continued festive spices. Slightly nutty.

Quite a light, delicate nose with raspberries, strawberries, cranberries and rosé wine. Taste wise, sweet arrival of summer fruit which dries slightly. Oaky but not overpowering with a good measure of white pepper. Definitely a floral element too. Medium to long finish.
Delicious. The Zinfandel barrels really add to the complexity. And, surprisingly, it goes very well with chocolate (which is not something that I normally expect from a whiskey).
Godlike
The nose is like a quality fine wine. Really nice on the nose. The palate is good, and the finish is not bad. Light and the finishing really brings out more of the shortbread on the nose. Really nice.
