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.

Watched the video review. Very informative. I'm very interested in trying this whiskey! I'm curious, where is your accent from?

Also, you seem to be a big fan of this whisky. I'm surprised it only got a score of 72.

Hello @sonofwatt, I'm not sure what my accent is, I'm Flemish (Belgium) after all, so not a native speaker. Yes, I am a big fan of Greenore, but that doesn't mean it has to score very high in the grand scheme of whiskey. This is an entry-level, aperitif style single grain. Very good in its own right. The 18 Year Old scores a lot higher.
