Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Finished in Zinfandel Wine Casks Chateau Montelena

Celebrating a Shared Irish Heritage Chateau Montelena “Exploring the influence of these prized wine casks on Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey was our inspiration,” said Kevin O’Gorman, Head of Maturation at Midleton Distillery, in a prepared statement. “We found that the black-skinned Zinfandel grapes are full of ripe, spicy berry flavours, which imparts a distinctive and refined fruitiness to the wine and also the casks in which they matured. Working closely with [Midleton Head Blender] Billy Leighton, we monitored the finishing process over the course of one year until we reached the perfect balance of flavours – the result is a rich pot still whiskey with classic Green Spot red apples, pears, vanilla and liquorice complemented by the dry and fruity Zinfandel wine.”
