The Whisk(e)y Vault - Episode 25 - Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

[@davidvarga590]

My favorite irish whiskey! It's a masterpiece!

[@fishycentaur2384]

Glad y'all recommended this. Its my new absolute favorite

[@poppafly635]

I really wasn’t a whiskey drinker until my brother-in-law introduced me to Green Spot. God bless him!!!!!

[@Tops1212]

A very, very highly recommended whiskey. One of my favourites....

[@robothing50]

Saw this in a store, bought it, had to see if there was a vault vid, brought me back to a memory of riding on the tailgate of a pickup truck through an overgrown orange grove during spring in Florida, with the tires rolling over lots of different fresh green plants.

[@derekcrump2473]

Thanks to Daniel and Rex, I just cracked open my first bottle of Green Spot and I am in love with it. I got the strong smell of banana bread right off the hop.

[@aml8444]

Here I am 2 years after your reply literally doing the same thing! I I get the banana bread smell only from bottle. I get the green apple in my glass. Also, this is helping me understand what is meant by "creamy finish". Very nice. Cheers to all!

[@corbind.9395]

​@@aml8444 1 year later, amd my first bottle. I get green apple immediately on opening the bottle, annnnnnnd more green apple in glass haha. I love it.

[@InfiniteNesLives]

Something about going back to these old videos of a youthful ready to learn Rex cracks me up.

[@biscuitninja]

You guys look so young and fresh.... Rex looks almost respectable!

[@shannonnava]

I agree with Daniel. Green Spot definitely has a coconut note on the nose. I also get banana. Interesting tropical notes. I love this whiskey ❤️ and y’all are great!

[@Preppy.Miley123]

Shannon Nava i get banana also, i was searching to see if anyone else got banana. Thought maybe i was crazy. But not really the fruit, more banana runt candies.

[@liamscandrett1813]

@@Preppy.Miley123 it's iso-amyl acetate - a common ester created during fermentation. It's found in a great deal of whisky, rum and other spirits.

[@liamscandrett1813]

It's also used to flavour lots of classic candies, foam bananas, laffy taffy etc.

[@anttisaari9831]

Just watching this video with a glass of Green Spot. When you mentioned coconut, I was like thats it! And very sweet apple smell as well. Very nice whiskey! Not too complicated, not too simple.

[@trentirvin2008]

Antti Saari my dads buddy had me try green spot, it’s the first Irish whiskey I’ve had that really impressed me

[@Bchignell]

Ok, so I purchased green spot purely from the fact that you guys seem to love it so much. Having just opened it, damn, I've never smelt a whiskey that's so appley! It's such a great whiskey though! Thanks for the peer pressure :)

[@brianluck84]

Just bought a bottle of this, short bread cookies right away on the nose. Great whiskey thanks for the review

[@justanotherparatrooper7098]

I’ve never gone to a gun range before. I decided to give it a shot!

[@scnj6958]

Doing a tasting while watching this episode. My “right brain” is bringing me to art class in middle school. I’m smelling the silk-screens used to make t-shirts. It’s a beautiful whiskey.

[@benvalencia6071]

Just binge watched a shit ton of your videos ( that's a metric measurement) had to pick up a bottle of green spot and it was amazing thank you for introducing me to it. You should do a review on caol ila moch just for rex

[@dmmikerpg]

What is that in Imperial Shit Tons?

[@andymancan3]

I've been an isla scotch snob most my adult life. Ardbeg, laphroaig,kilchoman, bruichladdich, Octomore ect. I never really gave irish whiskey a chance after my experience with the lower level common offerings like Jameson. My girlfriend picked up a bottle of green spot for me today being our one year anniversary thinking it's what I usually get and not knowing the difference between the two. I'm in love and looking forward to getting back into whiskey hunting.

[@ravinscouser]

Usually a bourbon lover but went to my first proper whiskey shop and the salesman expertly sat me down asked my ab9ut what I like what I don't, what I had in my collection and what my price range was. He selected a few bottles and samples for out for me and we sat and has a tasting which I thought was awesome salesmanship. I was torn between the makers mark 46 and the greenspot. I chose the greenspot as it was something different and I didn't have a nice Irish whiskey in my cabinet. My first scent of it on the nose was very refreshing then that nice mild green apple on the palette, I was sold. The salesman was narrating what I was tasting haha, I was like get out of my head!

[@ptypablo]

Just bought this a couple weeks ago based on one of your newer whiskey tribe videos, still haven't tasted it yet but think tomorrow is the day

[@jainiajackson3216]

I agree. Plus...Dried apricot on the nose. Honey and dried alfalfa in the taste.

[@killertoxin1121]

I just picked up a bottle of this yesterday. It's pretty fantastic.

[@marks7471]

I searched out this video whilst having a Green Spot, Yes I did get the green apple. But then I got swimming pool chlorine when I had a big nose in the glass, Am I doing it wrong or have I got the covid :) As a non whisky drinker I like Green spot.

[@LPKJFHIS]

Hahaha as Sting always does. I loved this and never thought I'd enjoy a whiskey review

[@chuckmcewen1293]

I have not got Coconut in the 3-4 tasting I have done with Green Spot until.. Until.... I went back to an empty glass and now BOOM coconut! Thank you Rex.... errr I mean Daniel...

[@jakepinkerton9765]

Crazy how much Rex has aged since drinking with Daniel on the reg

[@nicholasbell5112]

My girlfriend bought this for me for Xmas, it's a beautiful drop. Green apples, caremelised bananas and sultanas for me, very clean yet spicy after-taste

[@seancbrophy]

Long time listener, first time caller. ;] Have you fellas done a epi on Jameson Black Barrel yet? I can’t find it if so. And I looked forward to it.

[@WhiskeyVault]

Not yet!

[@terr256]

Had this for the first time yesterday and I tasted milk, cream, and powdered milk like when you just eat powdered milk. It was insane. My brain can't understand it hahaha

[@1964TP]

I just green spot for the first time, and I really liked the green able sweet nose and taste. It was very nice. If I consider this very good, what other whiskeys would you be close to this?

[@dumpeeplarfunny]

What would happen if you were to finish some green spot in some rum barrels?

[@cato451]

What happened to this version of Rex?

[@LuisGonzalez-qt4nl]

This was before he ranked up to master mooch extraordinaire

[@wolferine6466]

waiting for the day knob creek makes the first coconut sunscreen infused whiskey blend.

[@ericschwab409]

The term “Wine Geese” Daniel mentions is a term that comes from an older term which is “Wild Geese.” Wild Geese was used specifically when talking about Irishmen who participated in armed rebellion against English rule during the seventeenth and eighteenth century and then fled to France to avoid hanging and became soldiers in the French King’s Army. They then fought against the British Army on the European continent. The term “Geese” has been used ever since to describe ex-patriot Irishmen who have left home for whatever reason to work/live elsewhere, especially France. Scottish rebels fighting English rule in 1715 and 1745 also fled to France, but I’ve never heard of them being called Wild Geese. www.thekitchn.com/the-wine-geese-irelands-contri-141728

[@andrewmcnulty6815]

Eric Schwab I believe many of the French chateau with Irish names originated from the wild geese. Lynch - bages, Phelan-segur, Kirwan, Dillon and Talbot for example not to mention Hennessy cognac

[@andrewmcnulty6815]

And Barton!

[@ASlapOfAFish]

As a person who drinks exclusively whiskey, green spot does not have any coconut notes what's so ever. And I'm from Ireland just as a side note, so it's a whiskey I drink alot of ..... 👍👍

[@LuisGonzalez-qt4nl]

can you guys do a whiskey biscuits episode on your shelving in the background?

[@Lindani_Mvano]

Buying this next

[@ericnix4396]

Put the playlist on Spotify!!!!

[@jahbrakr]

Have you guys done any Glenmorangie? I'd like to know your thoughts on it, because I didn't care for it. I want to know if that's just me.

[@jashayou]

I love the right brain/left brain discussion - I didn't know that! I'm with Rex, I get the green hay and grass rather than green apple

[@danielkeis8388]

Have recently been able to try this fantastic whiskey and for some reason I get a small cinnamon scent off the nose just me?

[@Backroad_Junkie]

Rex is the original Brianna. The everyday guy who's introduced to the subtleties of whiskey. At least that's how they used her when she was first on. So both Brianna and Rex are the creation of Daniel. Think about it... 😁

[@freddieslaughter1107]

What is your rating on this?

[@WhiskeyVault]

magical

[@alexbillyparkin1]

So...whatever happened to the Whiskey Vault Mix Tape?

[@garlicgirl3149]

Sounds like I may like it.

[@copuis]

so, there is the thing after watching all these videos in a massive glut (and not all in order) when daniel says the words "that pretty" there are three ways he says it, and this is the prettiest way, (there is like an inflection, and tonal difference) this leads me to think that this is a fully pretty note, and not a note that has prettiness to it

[@mikem3726]

That's always a good question: Does he have to wear Speedos? NO! No one does. Great review though.

[@johnw2259]

Best by my opinion by far

[@davideasterling2729]

Oh my gosh! Rex BEFORE the Dad-Bod!

[@michaelkavanagh5947]

It’s old school Uisce Beatha. It’s good.

[@ShuusakuSama]

so sad that I can't buy one where I"m from . . . maybe on a trip somewhere when COVID is over

[@ShuusakuSama]

and I bought it yesterday ^_^

[@sudahb]

Have you tasted and commented on Oban14?

[@BamPlan]

Rex used to be so sweet...so gentle...

[@nateg452]

So weird looking this for back into the videos, Rex really seems to be a student back then. Now it seems he hits the notes just as well.

[@bigjohn697791]

This is my favourite personally It's not because I am an Irishman

[@Dubliners39]

Green spot 🥃

[@athenassigil5820]

I prefer wild , crazy haired Rex over preppy haired Rex.....ahhhh, who am I kidding...Rex, you're awesome. ....Gimli's ok, too...oh, love this whiskey, just bought a bottle.

[@jpslattery7344]

I do believe that Green Spot does have some artificial colouring added... though that will not discourage me from picking up a bottle to try after watching your review. I'm quite curious to give this one a try. BTW, Rex looks like a young John Larroquette.

[@jamiehall6679]

🥥 Coconut 🌴

[@DEVON215]

Wasn't worth $65 to me. If you can find it cheaper than definitely give it a go.

[@notasushifan]

$47 at Costco

[@kenweller2032]

$54 ON SALE at New Hampshire state liquor outlets.

[@KatiePhongh]

I love watching you guys but if Rex shows up in a video wearing Budgie Smugglers, I'm out!

[@bobgray5548]

Daniel looks the same but Rex looks 20 years younger.

[@ShortyMcvay517]

I can't find this shit anywhere

[@notasushifan]

I just picked it up at Costco! $47

[@nicholaspage5593]

It's Waldo Rex

[@KevinPerez-fd9xq]

🥃😎

[@ardentmindset6390]

Anybody else get banana?

[@ldezo]

Totally! The smell of ripe bananas is the first thing that came to my mind!

[@billyc9151]

This is alright, it isn't bad at all, but there is some better.

[@andremelandray7102]

which do you think is better ?

[@DatWonGuy]

WHY.IS.REX.POURING THE WHISKEYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

[@kurtmiller1689]

I love and hate this whiskey. The nose is amazing and endless. I can pull nuance for 20 minutes. The first taste is wonderful, but is ends bitter and metallic for me. I've found I have this issue with some sherry finished whiskeys. Lasanta, especially. I feel like I'm being robbed...

[@WhiskeyVault]

Yeah, sherry isn't really my thing either.

[@Bill_Hartnett]

Rex pouring? WTF? lol Also.. Smee in a speedo.. ugh..

[@bryanhigdon8882]
