The Green Spot doesn’t seem as complex to me this time. I didn’t get as much variety of fruits this time, but I think that allowed the toffee and butterscotch to be more pronounced. It goes well with the rounded texture I get in a single pot still whiskey. Appearance: Translucent amber. Really catches the light. As if you are looking through some caramelized sugar after it has cooled.

Then I get light tastes of honey, apples, toffee, butterscotch, honeydew melon, cantaloupes and limoncello. The toffee and butterscotch linger. Conclusions:

Green Spot Quails’ Gate

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. These differences are not carved in stone; the Irish Whiskey Act of 1980 outlines only the broad parameters necessary to label a product “Irish” whiskey. Basically, it requires that whiskey be composed of grains (such as barley, wheat, corn, and rye), be distilled to no more than 94.8 percent alcohol, and be aged at least three years in wooden barrels. These guidelines leave producers a lot of leeway to define their styles. was the first time for the Red Spot to re-appear in the market since the 1960s. The whisky is bottled at 46% and aged for at least 15 years in ex-Bourbon, ex-Sherry, and ex-Marsala casks. If you’re not sure what Marsala is, it’s a type of fortified wine from Italy.

The malaga casks are sourced from a bodega where they are seasoned with Malaga wine for two years. Incidentally, malaga is a sweet fortified wine made from Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel grapes produced in the environs of the Spanish city of Málaga.

PALATE: Yummy! Fruit drizzled stone fruit with vanilla and anise mixed with red apples, wood and sherry notes. Hints of dark roast coffee and barley. Medium-bodied and inviting. Bits of fresh toast with melted butter. Lovely balance between the fruity sweetness, wood and spices. Green Spot - The Living Relic of the Days of the Whiskey Bonders, 4 July 2012 on YouTube; 5:20 minutes. Palate: The taste really balances the aroma well. While you would expect to be overwhelmed by malt and sweetness, dried fruit and citrus emerge to round it out. The finish meets you with some tannic and oak notes that do not linger as long as expected.

As well as the ever present barley and malted barley, baking spices are much more present. It is as if all of the fruit and berries from the other expressions have melded together to tell the complete story. The initial hit and the high alcohol is noted, but not unpleasant. Green Spot is a single pot still Irish whiskey, produced specifically for Mitchell & Son of Dublin by Irish Distillers at the Midleton Distillery in Cork, Ireland. Green Spot is one of the few remaining bonded Irish whiskeys, along with Mitchell's three older offerings, Yellow Spot, Red Spot, and Blue Spot. It is one of only four whiskeys specifically produced for and sold by an independent wine merchant in Ireland. In May 2012, Mitchell & Son re-introduced the Yellow Spot variant based on information in company archives. [2] Bottling of Yellow Spot had previously ceased in the 1950s, but information in original company journals and ledgers allowed Mitchell & Son to determine the original Yellow Spot was a blend of 12-year-old pot still whiskeys that were matured in a combination of Malaga wine casks (which impart a slightly sweet taste), [2] bourbon barrels, and sherry butts.

I get light to medium peppery tastes of grapes, roasted grapes, yellow kiwi fruit, tepache, dehydrated lemon peel, orange-flavored vitamin c syrup, coffee, and chocolate. Conclusions:

Set up in 1805, it wasn’t until 1887 that Robert Mitchell, a baker, confectioner and the sort of industrious shopkeeper so crucial in the history of whiskey (and whisky, too - Johnnie Walker was a grocer, for example) added whiskey bonding to the family business. Yellow Spot Irish whiskey was originally produced by the Mitchell family who commenced trading as whisky brokers in 1805 at 10 Grafton Street, Dublin. In 1887 the company moved to nearby Kildare Street and it is around this time that the Mitchells started bonding (maturing) whiskey. Green Spot was first released in 1933, followed by a few more Spot colours. However, the bonder’s style category whiskies disappeared when distillery bottled releases took over the market. Green Spot was the last to be discontinued in the 1950s. Fortunately, Green Spot was reintroduced to the market in the early 2000s, and Yellow Spot whiskey followed in 2012
