Green Spot — лёгкий, сливочно-фруктовый ирландский single pot still, который хвалят за питкость и соотношение цены и качества, но часто упрекают в простоте и нехватке глубины.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах устойчиво повторяется один и тот же набор нот: зелёное и красное яблоко, груша, цитрус, ваниль, карамель, мёд, зерновые и сливочная мягкость; нередко отмечают тропические и кокосовые оттенки, а также лёгкую пряность pot still. Многие называют виски очень питким, сбалансированным и «опасно лёгким», подходящим для лета и на каждый день, с хорошим соотношением цены и качества. При этом часть отзывов указывает на телесную лёгкость и водянистость при 40%, короткий или средне-короткий финиш и отсутствие сложности; некоторые прямо говорят, что он простой и неглубокий, хотя и приятный. Несколько отзывов сравнивают его с Redbreast 12 и Yellow Spot: одни предпочитают Redbreast, другие находят Green Spot не менее интересным или даже более характерным.

I already was a big fan of Yellow Spot and because I was always told the green spot isn't as good It took me a bit longer to give this one a try. To be honest, I like It just as much. The Yellow spot has a bit more body and depth with more deeper orange peel flavours maybe, but the Green spot's tropical (coconutty) flavour profile with cookies and equally nectar like softness & balance I like just as much. I love that they are so different and equally interesting. The Midleton distillery made me start preferring Irish whiskey's (incl. Redbreast) over de Scottish ones, which Is no small feat :-)

NAS, 40%, young and simple, a hint of pot still character, some apples and pears and off it goes.
I much prefer the Redbreast to stay on a similar product.

Creamy-soft, fruity-floral and very drinkable pot still, certainly interesting for lovers of this style, to whom I do not want to count (yet?) After this and for me so far only experience

Tasted on 05-27-2020.
green apples, caramel sauce, fruitiness, spicy, nice sherry influence, light and fresh body, citrusy, price/perfomance is perfect.
S 8 Enjoyable, although it lacks the depth on the palate. Very nice American oak influence. Only a touch of Sherry influence towards the very end, I guess it's because only 25% of the whiskies are finished in Sherry casks. [78-82] I'll gladly welcome another dram. N 26 Creamy vanilla apple tart. New oak. Sticky rice pudding (糯米糍). Plenty of menthol in the play. A whiff of coconut flakes and Jalapeño pepper. After 10 mins it becomes fairly buttery. P 24 Clean, smooth, and refreshing mouthfeel when it landed. Rich body with plenty of orchard fruit (red apples, pears, white guavas) juice. Crushed peppercorns. Toasted oak that's mildly buttery. F 23 Mid finish. Oaky, slightly dry. A mild touch of tropical fruits and fresh barley lingering.
Didn't expect this, really really nice whiskey for money. In this moment the first Irish whiskey I would look for backup bottle. Missing some kick and complexity but really lovely notes can be found there! This whiskey is green from name to finish... lot of green and yellow fruity notes.

I struggle a little with irish whiskeys,but this is an okay middle one for me :)
Nice basic Irish. Simple. Green apples. Light with slightly disturbing notes of sharper alcohol. The reverberation is rather shorter.
Pure pot still from malted and unmalted barley.
N- Orange and peach concentrate, green but refine with subtle earth. Citrus take center-stage with dry hay, candy drops and red wine note. P- Bubble gum, charming peach again with cream soda. Peppery in the middle. F- Medium, return of dry woody strength, balsamic vinegar dress with juicy sweet fruit salad. — at The Whiskey Bar, Kuala Lumpur.

Easy drinking whiskey. Not complex.
нос 65 · вкус 70 · финиш 65
Using a combination of malted and unmalted barley, Green Spot is a prime example of traditional, triple distilled Irish single pot still whiskey. Sweet apple pie, freshly cut grass and cereals feature prominently on the nose, and there are hints of pineapple, avocado and burnt cookies. After a light and floral arrival, the taste develops more grainy and yeasty with peach juice, fine spices and a touch of lemongrass. It's a bit thin and watery at times. The finish is moderate but altogether pleasant with mild oak, vanilla and licorice. This stuff is dangerously drinkable! RATING: 3.7/5.0 stars ≙ 85 pts → ABOVE AVERAGE [+]
нос 87 · вкус 85 · финиш 84
soft nose of mostly apple and a taste of dried fruit and appel. great taste and easy to drink. A must if you're exploring the Irish side of the irrisistable world of whiskey. This is exactly what an Irish whiskey should taste like
wonderful aroma, indistinct taste
Accessible whiskey. Soft.
Matured in bourbon, refill bourbon, and sherry. Green Spot was originally aged 10 years, but it's now NAS, but the producer claims all the whiskeys used are between 7 and 10 years old. Color: deep gold Simple, easy-drinking, but more than decent whiskey.

Tasted at Tunsberg Whiskey Festival. As a light an clean refreshment I guess it's OK. My disappointment is most likely due to higher expectations from online reviews.

Accessible
Dangerously drinkable, and a big whiskey even at just 40 percent abv. Good value for money stuff.
The smell has completely ruined me, the taste and the touch even though they do not reach these parameters, but it is still very good
Overall a good whiskey, pleasant to drink and well balanced, without the predominance of one flavor over the others. Curious is the scent of incense that is perceived after a while in an empty glass

Too straightforward fruity and sweet for me... to simple in the development.

My first whiskey review. Ok, let's try this. Sweetish nose, buttercream, orchard fruit. Hazelnuts. Sweet, but not impossibly so, with a good heat to it when drunk neat. Light bitterness in the finish, maybe some orange bitters, pecan, turps... woody. A few drops of water releases the apple on the nose, maybe also some hints of vanilla. Taste is mellower, the heat is a bit less, but I still think I like this neat.
The light and playful aroma is replaced by an equally light and understandable taste. It would be interesting to compare it with Glenfiddich 12-YO. I think Green Spot will easily beat it! Then why such a low rating? 21 21 21 21

Each bottling is vatted from a range of seven to nine year old barrels at a proportion hovering around 3/4 Bourbon and 1/4 Sherry. (Fionnán O'Connor - A Glas Apart)
Very fine. Much more approachable then the old bottle version in my opinion.
Green Spot is light and easy going. Whilst arguably not complex there is some undoubtedly depth here – the balance is good and the fresh, summery flavours are ideal for relaxing with at the end of a long warm day.

Sugar cane nose. Quite young, but juicy and fruity with pineapple. Liquorice finish.
Soft potstill spices, citrus fruits, malt, honey, creamy vanilla, herbs. Short to medium finish and the 40% abv is integrated allright. Simple but solid daily dram for summertimes.
Green Spot is a great, simple, and straightforward Irish pot still whiskey. It's not complex or layered. The basics are simple but good: grain and sweetness, paired with a touch of pot still spice. Wonderfully easy and uncomplicated to drink. A great introduction to the world of Irish pot still whiskeys. It possesses all the attributes that define this style of whiskey: straightforward, simple, and good.

| Нос | 84 | A lovely nose with abundant grain and fruit notes. Malt, oats, muesli, cookie dough. Garden fruit: apple, pear, apricot, gooseberry. Also cinnamon, nutmeg. A touch of lemon. A floral note, fresh, damp grass. Vanilla, honey. All very appealing. |
| Вкус | 84 | Very soft and rounded on the palate. Lovely cereal notes. Muesli, oats. Light fruits layered on top: pears, apples, apricots. All garnished with vanilla pudding. A touch of lemon, cinnamon, honey, and a hint of pot-stil spice. Wonderfully viscous and oily on the palate. Yes, the alcohol content could be higher. But at 40% ABV, it handles itself quite well. Overall, a lovely, grainy-sweet wine. |
| Финиш | 83 | It begins with notes of grain and plenty of ripe fruit. The pot still spice adds a lovely, pleasant spiciness. Everything is very harmonious and well-rounded. The finish is medium-long at most. A lingering sweetness of vanilla, honey, malt, and the pot still spice remains. |
From the beginning of this whiskey has been a sweet, rich flavor and all that skips in a great spiciness. The taste has flavors of dried fruit and apple. The aftertaste has aromas of fruit and nuts
A pot still, as it is in the book. Although the Green Spot has its own character, it is very close to Redbreast 12.

Would I rather have this or Redbreast 12? It‘s a toss-up, really, and depends on the day / mood. Elite Irish whiskey, in any case. Highly recommended.
Relatively simple, somewhat flat-looking whiskey. Absolutely nothing wild, rather simple and tasty.

| Нос | 81 | very smooth and calm whiskey. Hardly any movement in the glass ... the aromas come through somewhat sparsely. A few floral notes. Grain, grass, fresh hay, chamomile tea, and in addition there are somewhat stronger fruit notes of apple, pineapple, muesli note with honey, light citrus fruits appear in the background. |
| Вкус | 80 | Here, too, it has a soft, creamy start. Appears slightly watery. slight tingling. Taste is rather malty, light oak spice, vanilla, some toffee, in addition slightly fruity-sweet with pastries, looks a bit thin on the palate. Fruity notes transform into a sour component. |
| Финиш | 80 | Medium-long finish, dry, sweet and fruit fade quickly and a pleasant, subtle oak spice with a little vanilla remains. |

84-85 range. For me personally this is more interesting than the Redbreast 12 and has more character to it. Really light and fresh but tons of fresh fruits to explore, this is a pot still I like. In the masterclass where this whiskey was presented I was probably the only person who liked Green spot more than the Redbreast 12 and found it as interesting as Yellow spot but hey, personal preferrences

Sweet, fresh and creamy with gentle pot still spice. Vanilla, malt, fresh grass, cinnamon, honey, oak and apple all show clearly, with a slight bitter-anise note in the background.

Gold pour. Nose is fresh and lacks unpleasant booze/chemical notes I find in entry-level shelf Jameson pours. Light custard and orchard fruits. Mouth is custard, cream, a touch of nectarine. Nothing daring but refined and gentle, pleasant. A bit herbal/bitter on the finish, though it smacks even later with a nice cream sensation. Nice.

The nose is very pleasant for an irish SPS, but I expected a little better for the sum.
Very smooth and inoffensive whiskey, but unfortunately lacking some punch. I have had the Château Léoville Barton wine cask finish version of Green Spot as well and that is significantly more interesting and memorable.

- estimated to be around 7-8 years old - an average Irish whiskey - Approx. € 35 are far too expensive for the quality delivered - can't understand an 80 rating here ...
For me this was a bit to basic for the hype i got myself up to
Golden color. Quite oily texture.

| Нос | 77 | Low volatility. Fresh fruit, but not too noticeable. Creamy. Oatmeal. Caramel. Toffee. A pinch of spice. White pepper. After a while, it opens up a bit. Vanilla. |
| Вкус | 81 | Creaminess. Fresh fruit. Fresh red apples. Caramel. Caramelized apples. Oak. Fudge. Spices. Ginger. White pepper. Slight oiliness. Barley malt on the second sip. Oat flakes. |
| Финиш | 83 | Creamy. Fresh fruit. Fresh red apples. A pinch of spice. White pepper. Cinnamon. Apple pie dusted with cinnamon. Medium-length finish. |
Nose quite powerful and pleasant on yellow fruits and a cereal tip. The mouth is too light because of the dilution. Some peppery notes appear. Short finish on white pepper and fruits (yellow apple).
On my nose here I get heather honey, orange marmalade, green apples, rhubarb, lime, menthol and grass. Frisk. The taste is full and sweet; I get plums, strawberry jam, cloves and gooseberries. The sweetness builds up and I get some honey towards the ending. The finish has some sweetness that is well balanced against freshness first in both smell and taste, with caramel, burnt toast, honey, cherry and dried fruit. The freshness comes back after a while, and afterwards ebber out in a dry, long and thoughtful metallic tone. With water I get more nibble in addition to pear and tea, the taste is getting even more honey, while the finish gets some blueberries and a clearer grain.
Nose: Hints of peppermint, sweet barley, creamy vanilla, and citrus. Palate: Soft and gentle with some bourbon,some oak and menthol. Finish: A rather long finish with my favorite vanilla; and a nice finish.
keeping a long story short. A very fresh and refreshing Irishman. Fits well in the summer and just right.
Tasted at the Celtic Whiskey Shop in Killarney, Ireland.

A good representative of pot still whiskeys without age statement. Convinces with a fruity and idiosyncratic character. A few vol. percent more would certainly give it a more concise assertiveness. Overall, however, a good representative of the Emerald Isle.

Light, unpretentious, friendly whiskey.
https://whiskeylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2024/09/24/plastic-oh-no-band-middleweights/ I really didn’t get on with this when I first tried it in 2015, back before these pages were born. This is a 2018 batch I’m trying in 2024. N: Very Irish, if the Irish style is still consolidated tropical fruits over a fluffy floury mashy base with an oily fatiness to hold it all together. T: A soft sour start, but that’s not to say it’s weak. In fact, it picks up quite some momentum from then on in over [essential] fruit oils aplenty with some tincture-bitterness on the turn – liquorice and pineapple not an undesirable combo in this scenario. F: Sustains very well at the abv minimum, the fruits bound up within those tincture oils. Remaining centred around a mash-sour and oak bitterness, it’s salivating to the end. C: I find this far more favourably today. From 38 euros, even at 40%, it’s plenty giving and a serious daily drammer.
It's a shame you cannot leave it in the glass for a long time. The flavours subside heavily and swiftly in my view.
Edit: support
Good for Irish Coffey. But he does not come in the glass anymore
Very easy to drink, not bitter. Not very complex but friendly
A whiskey very well done, entertaining. It is sorely lacking in complexity and madness but it will make you have a good time. The ideal is not to be too sensitive to vegetal notes;)
On the nose, cereals, vanilla, fresh yellow fruits! On the palate, it is sweet, a little too much, feeling of grass "drying", it's creamy, vanilla and spicy, no red fruit aromas like the US version! here, it's apple rather! In the final, it's quite short and very simple, it's misleading because without being a whiskey of thirst, it gets too well!
