Green Spot Quails' Gate

Aroma offers ripe pear, buttered bread, white grape, honey, cantaloupe, candy corn, vanilla cream, and cake batter. Ethanol is nil. Very pleasant. Palate brings stewed pear from the nose, candied orange, cranberry, clove, light honey, vanilla, barley, and toasted oak. Definitely not lacking in flavor. Finish consist of some sharp unattenuated alcohol (92 proof?) pot still funk, almond, apricot, white pepper, and tannic astringency/bitterness. Mouthfeel is a very buttery medium-bodied, but overall the finish misses the mark a bit. Easily the worst of the Green Spot wine geese series. There is an overall sharpness to the affair that doesn’t seem to need to be there. While it far from sucks, at 104.99 it just isn’t close to a rebuy either.

Nose: sweet, warm, summer. Red berries like raspberries and strawberries and wood/oak like when you walk through an orchard on a hot day smelling sun warmed trees and loam mixed with the fruit/flowers perfume. Palate: the alcohol bute arrives but without burn. I taste baking spices nutmeg/cinnamon, maybe vanilla extract with the alcohol bite. Lots of apple like a liquid apple crisp. Finish: the berries return, apples fade, and the alcohol bite remains. This is from my first pour of the neck.

Nose: classic irish malt on the nose, a nice strong creamy white oak, getting a hint of cherry and raspberry. Pear, baking spice as well. Palate: berry and cherry on the palate for sure. Vanilla, cream soft oak. Dried cranberries show up as well as the red apple. Baking spices continue. Buttery Shortbread. Incredibly drinkable and smooth for 92 proof Finish: light toasted oak. Mild fruitiness, red apple skin.

Vanilla at the top followed by sweet oak. No burn. Very enjoyable neat or maybe with a splash of water.

Nice, mild whisky. Very pleasant taste

Nice start but a hard finish
