Comments: 

Cask 50776. I like wine-finished Green Spot. The whisky just seems to take wine finishing very well, and you can often taste the wine in the whisky. No, I'm not really a purist. This particular one was aged in bourbon, then sherry, then finished in Marsala casks for a couple of years (!). It shows - there's sweet plum pudding and blackberry jam, even chocolate, but there's also quite a lot of citrus underneath. Marvellous stuff.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
