Producer |
Mitchell & Son |
| Fairly deep golden amber colour. Intense, complex, spicy, slightly sweetish, very gently smoky, honeyed beeswax nose with some caramel notes. Intense, mouthfilling, rather viscous, very peppery, slightly smoky, honeyed beeswax flavours with a lingering finish. Triple distilled in a pot still and matured in oak casks, apparently for up to 8 years. |

| Green Spot is triple distilled in a pot still. The distillates are allowed to age for seven to eight years in oak casks (25% of them formerly Sherry casks). Only 500 cases (6 bottles per case) are produced each year and few are available to the international market. Tasting note: This is a tremendous whiskey, sometimes giving a sweet-honey feel more associated with Perthshire malts from Scotland. But the pot still is confident enough to confirm this as Irish with a maturity greater than the age of the whiskey used. If you see it, grab it. It s too much of a high class one-off to ignore.
