Review:
Greenore is matured in single use bourbon casks, giving it the suble vanilla tones and honeyed sweetness that is so characteristic for Greenore. It has a truly distinctive taste (as does the 15 yrs).
The nose is soft, mostly sweet corn and delicious hints of bourbon and lemon.
The taste is a rich, melt-in-your mouth grain with a hint of barley.
A wonderful journey for your taste buds and quite different from most other whiskies I've come accross (admittedly not that many so far).
This - along with the 15yrs variety - are my personal favorites.

I discovered Greenore 8 year-old last night at the local whiskey joint and was very pleased with it. Like markjedi1, I found it had a lovely vanilla sweetness, though admittedly I did find it a little too saccharine by the end of the dram. I also tasted a hint of menthol, like Green Spot (but pressed further into the background), that made for a nice contrast to the vanilla. I will have to try it again...

Based on this review it sounds like a must have whiskey.

@dbk glad you liked it. This is, in my book, a very good aperitif whiskey. The 15-year old is a tad better, but at double the price, I'd rather have two bottles of this one.
