It might be psychosomatic, but where Green Spot has green apple candies on the nose, Yellow Spot has caramel and honey crisp apples on the nose with the classic Irish butter cookie slightly behind, but still fruit forward. The taste is slow to arrive but when it does it’s very sweet, apples and honey with some vanilla. More dense and more mids than the Green Spot’s light and bright freshness. The ethanol is more present in the finish as well. Between the two, I think Yellow Spot is more in line with typical Irish and has a bit more behind it. The higher proof carries it past the Green Spot during the AB test, but on their own I slightly prefer the Green Spot, I just wish I could try it at a higher proof.
