Green Spot is an iconic single pot still Irish whiskey from the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, triple distilled from a traditional mash of malted and unmalted barley and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
It is a non-age-statement whiskey made from pot still whiskeys aged between seven and ten years, matured in a combination of new bourbon, refill bourbon and sherry casks. Green Spot was originally created exclusively for the Mitchell family's wine and spirit merchant business in Dublin, and it continues a timeless connection to Ireland's whiskey heritage.
The nose offers fresh aromatic oils and spices with orchard fruits and barley on a background of toasted wood. The body is full and spicy, with a hint of cloves and the fruity sweetness of green apple, rounded off with toasted oak, followed by lingering spice and barley. It scored 92 points at the 2014 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.
Presented in its tube, it makes a classic gift for Irish whiskey lovers.
Single pot still whiskey is a uniquely Irish style, made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and distilled in copper pot stills, which gives a creamy texture and spicy character.
Triple distillation is a hallmark of Irish whiskey and produces a lighter, smoother spirit.
