History,
Embodying the unmistakable qualities of Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. Blue Spot is matured for no less than 7 years in Bourbon casks, Sherry butts and Portuguese Madeira casks all bottled at cask strength for you to enjoy!
Nose: Big and powerful. Initially a bit restrained, but opens up with a few drops of water. Fresh baked bread. Orange peel. Marmalade. Spices. Sweet mint. Dark chocolate. Sweet floral notes, like walking into a greenhouse while eating cotton candy. Yes, definitely some cotton candy on the nose. Really lovely, once water is added.
Palate: Classic Irish pot still, robust and grainy, with an underlying sweetness. Like the nose, water is required to bring out the complexities. Orange liqueur and milk chocolate… actually it really reminds me of Terry’s chocolate orange balls (haven’t had one of those in years, but that flavor is unmistakable). Old fashioned hard candies. Skittles. Dried tropical fruits. Allspice and black pepper. Vanilla. Lavender. Buttery. Nutty—almonds, cashews, and macadamia nuts. A slight hint of anise. Really nice balance between sweet and dry, fruit and spice, with layers of complexity.
Finish: Fairly long. Sweet wine. The sweet florals from the nose return. More of the nuts. Mint. The spice becomes more prominent, especially nutmeg.
