Green Spot Irish Whiskey in a Nutshell

Green Spot Irish Whiskey, a beloved single pot still, harks back to the Dublin bonder tradition where Mitchell & Son marked casks with a daub of paint – green signifying a specific maturation period. This delightful spirit, crafted from a mix of malted and unmalted barley and triple distilled, offers a wonderfully creamy mouthfeel and notes of green apple and toasted oak, a testament to its aging in ex-bourbon and sherry casks.

Anders' Take on Green Spot Irish Whiskey

"Green Spot is an approachable pot still whiskey with bright apple and notes of pear. Fantastic neat, but a welcome addition to so many cocktails."

Let's Answer Your Questions About Green Spot Irish Whiskey

Where is Green Spot Irish Whiskey from?

Green Spot Irish Whiskey is a classic single pot still Irish whiskey with a story rooted in the Dublin wine merchant Mitchell & Son, who began trading in 1805. The "Spot" name originated from their practice of marking casks of different ages with a daub of colored paint. Green Spot, historically a 10-year-old whiskey (now a blend of 7 to 10-year-old whiskeys), was initially produced exclusively for the Mitchell family. It’s known for being one of the few "whiskey bonder brands" to survive into the modern era and is produced at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork. This triple-distilled whiskey uses a mash bill of malted and unmalted barley, a signature of the single pot still style, and is matured in a combination of new bourbon, refill bourbon, and sherry casks.

How should I use Green Spot Irish Whiskey?

Green Spot Irish Whiskey offers bright orchard fruits and a touch of spice from its pot still character and cask maturation. It's fantastic sipped neat but truly sings in spirit-forward classics or modern cocktails needing a lively, fruity backbone; think sophisticated highballs or nuanced Old Fashioneds.

What does Green Spot Irish Whiskey taste like?

Green Spot Irish Whiskey offers a welcoming aroma of fresh green apples, pears, and a hint of peppermint. On the palate, it's spicy and soft with orchard fruits, gentle bourbon oak, and a touch of potpourri. The finish is creamy and long, leaving lingering notes of vanilla and toasted oak.
