Green Spot Château Montelena is the 2nd edition of the Wine Geese series, following Green Spot Château Leoville Barton, released in 2015.

Initially matured in traditional sherry and bourbon casks, Green Spot Chateau Montelena was then finished for 12 months in French oak Zinfandel wine casks, from the prestigious Château Montelena in Napa Valley.

Celebrating an Irish heritage, the collaboration between Green Spot and Château Montelena is not just the coming together of two unique stories, it's also the fusion of two unique histories that as one deliver an exceptional whiskey - Green Spot Château Montelena Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Crisp oak combines with the soft sweetness of vanilla, white chocolate and marshmallow, balanced with signature Green Spot red apples and ripe pears, along with pomegranate, cranberries and maraschino cherries, the contribution of the wine cask.

Taste: Sweet mouth coating takes on a dry note thanks to the effect of the wine cask. Pot still spices subside with zesty citrus leading to ripe orchard fruit and red berries. A touch of marzipan and toasted oak add to the complexity.

Finish: Satisfyingly long with pot still spices in harmony with the delicate dry wine contribution.

With a distilling history dating back to the 19th century, Midleton’s renowned bounty has been said to have drawn whiskey into being.

From its beginnings on the banks of the crystalline Dungourney River, Midleton Distillery’s links with the land run deep and long.

Of course whiskey is also the lifeblood of a people and their aspirations. And this town has always been a pioneering community, from the moment the Murphy family started to distil here in 1825.
