Comments: 

First expression in the 'Wild Geese' series, where Green Spot whisky is finished in a particular set of wine casks. This one is a Bordeaux made by an Irish family. The whisky is classic wine cask, plenty of red grapes and orange peel, but there's a gentle, leathery feel to it that makes it stand out from the rest. Good stuff.

Verdict:

I like this.
