Green Spot Chateau Montelena is a unique whiskey that has been aged in traditional sherry and bourbon casks before being finished for 12 months in French oak Zinfandel wine casks from the prestigious Chateau Montelena in Napa Valley, California. This 46% ABV, 700ml bottle, crafted by the renowned Midleton Distillery in Ireland, boasts a crisp oak nose with 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 palate offers a sweet mouth coating that transitions to a dry note due to the influence of the wine cask. Pot still spices subside with zesty citrus leading to ripe orchard fruit and red berries, with a touch of marzipan and toasted oak adding to the complexity. The finish combines classic long pot still spice flavors with a delicate wine influence, all in perfect harmony. This whiskey is the second edition of the Wine Geese series, following Green Spot Chateau Leoville Barton, and was released in 2021. Green Spot Chateau Montelena is not chill-filtered, allowing for the full flavor profile to be experienced.
