The name “Spot” originated from the family’s practice of marking casks of different ages with a spot of coloured paint. Over time this created a range of distinctive whiskeys including Blue Spot, Green Spot, Yellow Spot and Red Spot. Today these historic bonded whiskeys remain an important part of Ireland’s whiskey heritage.
Green Spot: is a single pot still Irish whiskey, comprised of pot still whiskeys aged between 7 and 10 years old. This critically acclaimed dram is matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks. Bottled at 40% abv. Expect notes of aromatic oils and spices and orchard fruits on the nose. The palate boasts mouth-coating flavours of mixed spice, green apple and toasted oak, with a lingering finish full of cloves and barley.
Yellow Spot: The big brother of the cult Green Spot whiskey is the Yellow Spot 12 Year Old. It matures in barrels of three types: bourbon, Spanish sherry and Spanish Malaga. This is an excellent, sophisticated and complex drink. The sweetness of the first sip lingers for a long time, accompanied by a juicy blend of flavors of red wine, fruit, vanilla, cinnamon, and malt. The contrast of sweetness and tannins, complemented by light notes of spicy oak, exceptionally completes the wonderfully rich, silky, and full flavor. Only a limited number of 6000 bottles of Yellow Spot are produced each year. They usually sell out domestically, so it is rarely available to purchase anywhere other than Ireland.
Red Spot 15-Year-Old represents the richest and most complex expression in the Spot family. Matured for at least fifteen years in a unique combination of American bourbon casks, Spanish sherry butts and Sicilian Marsala wine casks, the whiskey displays remarkable depth, structure and balance.
Blue Spot (7-Year-Old) Cask Strength is Master winner at the Irish Whiskey Masters 2023. Produced at Midleton Distillery in County Cork, this rich and characterful expression is matured for a minimum of seven years in a combination of bourbon casks, sherry butts and Portuguese Madeira casks before being bottled at cask strength. Bottling at cask strength preserves the whiskey's natural intensity and allows its flavours to develop beautifully with a small amount of water.
