Archer scored this whisky 90 points 
Now the spot range is complete again: after a blue spot was last available in 1964, the green spot held the flag for many years as the only remaining representative of the single pot still Irish whiskey genre, gradually holding up the old range the Yellow Spot and Red Spot was revived and the Green Spot was also brought onto the market in finish variants, now it comes here at the age of seven and as a cask strength variant with a fat 58.7%. It's hard to believe what he's already delivering here at just seven years old - pushes himself directly and very casually to position No. 1 of the spot range.

Although at 58.7% it is clearly in the high-proof range, it is not locked, but instead provides a rich selection of flavors that does justice to a single pot still Irish whiskey: ripe pineapple, mango and papaya, with a good pinch of spices in the form of Pepper, marjoram, cinnamon, coriander and cumin. Full and well balanced, with toasted aromas, dry wood and dark chocolate.

Strong and mouth-filling, spices first, the fruit just behind it. Pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, coriander, curry powder and cumin, followed by a note of tropical fruit that is otherwise only found in older SPS. Some liquorice, white coffee and freshly roasted coffee beans.

He takes his time, lingers on the palate for a long time, the spices spread out as generously as camels on the Rose Monday procession in Cologne. Still the tropical fruits, above all mango, banana and papaya, milk chocolate, honey, and finally some dry wood.
