Green Spot Quails’ Gate, the third release in the Wine Geese series, is an Irish whiskey initially matured in American oak and ex-sherry casks before finishing for 16 months in Pinot Noir casks from Quails’ Gate Winery. Bottled at 46% ABV, it was released in 2023.
There’s nice spiciness on the nose, followed by a palate of abundant spice flavors along with red apple, cherry, berries, candied orange, lemon, and vanilla. The spice isn’t quite done yet, as it punctuates a pleasantly balanced finish.
