Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey - 70cl 40%

Green Spot is a non-age statement Single Pot Still Irish whisky which is comprised of pot still whiskys aged between 7 and 10 years.

Matured in a combination of new bourbon and refill bourbon casks as well as sherry casks, Green Spot is fabulous stuff, and much loved by the critics.

Green Spot was originally produced exclusively for the Mitchell family who, commenced trading in 1805 on 10 Grafton Street in the heart of Dublin city as purveyors of fine wines and confectionary.

Four generations later, the company is still in the wine and spirits business, under the stewardship of Jonathan Mitchell and his son Robert.

 The Mitchell family expanded into whiskey bonding in 1887, 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 whiskeys matured for many years under bond until they were ready to be bottled and sold.

Nose: Hints of peppermint, malt and sweet barley. Also on the nose is sugary porridge, deliciously creamy vanilla, papaya and citrus.

Palate: Spicy and soft, gentle bourbon oak, green woods, menthol before finally, potpourri.

Finish: A long creamy finish as vanilla rounds it off nicely.
