kjbeggs Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Anyone tried, or even seen this?I like Green spot, and see no reason to add a "finish" to it personally, but still... (on a positive note, it's 92 proof)"Green Spot Chateau Leoville Barton takes the original Green Spot — matured in a mix of sherry, new bourbon, and refill bourbon casks — then transfers the liquid into Bordeaux casks from Chateau Leoville Barton, where it finishes for 12 to 24 months.This expression immediately cuts a spicier, more pungent figure. The nose showcases honey, vanilla, and banana notes, but it’s undercut by subtle and tannic red wine notes. You might initially find this confluence off-putting, but give it some time and things start to gel. On the palate, the wine influence is stronger, the tannin hitting first alongside some austere wood notes, the wine cask then adding a raisin note atop the more expected notes of marshmallow, toffee, and vanilla. The finish is huge, again bringing out more winey elements, chewy and powerful and punchy with some Christmas spice notes to polish things off. (Also of note is that this expression is considerably higher in alcohol than standard Green Spot, which is bottled at 80 proof.)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amg Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Raising the proof on it is alone enough reason to check this out, though I'm sure that the price will be absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
