Red Spot was originally produced by the Mitchell family who commenced trading in 1805 on Grafton Street in Dublin, and became involved in whiskey bonding in 1887. The Red Spot name originated from the family's practice of marking casks of different ages with a spot of coloured paint. There was a Blue Spot, Green Spot, Yellow Spot, as well as the Red Spot. Red Spot was not produced for very many years, but was relaunched in 2018. Matured for over 15 years in a combination of American Bourbon casks, Spanish sherry butts and Sicilian Marsala wine casks.
Nose: Pot Still spices with rich cooked fruit, baked apple, mango and black cherry, nuts.
Taste: Ripe fruit sweetness with good dash of spices - black pepper
