Yellow Spot 12 Year Old Single Pot Still Whiskey (70 cl), €89.95
Whilst Green Spot is often described as tasting like green apples, Yellow Spot is more in character with juicy red apples. Sophisticated and complex in character.
Yellow Spot is special in that it contains whiskey that has been matured for a full 12 year period in three oak cask types : American bourbon barrels, Spanish sherry butts, and Spanish Malaga casks.
The Malaga cask brings an exotic sweet note to the whiskey making it a truly delightful taste experience. Limited quantities of Yellow Spot have been bottled making it a whiskey to savour.
Nose: Mown hay & cracked black pepper. Red bell peppers, nutmeg, clove oil & green tea. Sweet honey & peaches from the Malaga casks.
Taste: Honey sweetness with pot still spices. Flavours of fresh coffee, creamy milk chocolate & Crème Brûlée. Notes of red apples & toasted oak.
Finish: Sophisticated & complex with a sweetness throughout, followed by a mix of red grape & dry barley upon exit.
