Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey 700ml

Green Spot was originally and still is produced exclusively for the Mitchell family who commenced trading in Dublin in 1805 as purveyors of confectionary, wines and fortified wines. In 1887, this entrepreneurial family expanded into the whiskey bonding business whereby they sent empty wine, Sherry and port casks via horse and cart to the local Jameson Distillery which were then filled and returned to the Mitchell's cellar warehouse. There the whiskies matured for many years under bond until they were ready to be bottled and sold.

Green Spot is a blend of whiskies with an average age of 7 9 years distilled in a single pot still in Midleton, Co Cork. Its name relates to the old practice of marking barrels with a daub of colour representing a particular age.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Fresh aromatic oils and spices with orchard fruits and barley on a background of toasted wood.

Taste: Full spicy body. A hint of cloves along with the fruity sweetness of green apples, rounded off with toasted oak.

Finish: Lingering flavours of spices and barley.
