Blue Spot 7 Year Old Cask Strength Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Continuing on from the trends set by Yellow Spot and Red Spot, this release uses component whiskeys matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks with the inclusion of a wine cask component, in this case Madeira casks. They state that the components age’s range between 7-20 years, which is irrelevant given the age statement, it has been bottled at 58.7% cask strength which will vary from batch to batch, and has been bottled after non-chill filtration.
Blue Spot 7 Year Old Cask Strength Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Region: Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Colour: A pale Amber.
Nose: Is distinctly Pot Still. Touches of sherry throughout, hints of candied mango, orange zest and a whippet of lime peels. It becomes quite nutty, there’s sweet marzipan but it’s dominant in roasted hazelnuts. As it develops it gets more intense with banana skins and butterscotch sweetness.
Mouth: Lovely oily, mouthcoating texture and a bursting of orchard fruits in the aromatics of the mouth. As it clings to the tongue it gives you a mixture of floral notes like the hull of red berries and fragrant violet petal. It lingers in the back palate with chocolate, caramel, an abundance of nuts and a hint of peppery spice.
