Single Pot Still — Ireland

This is the recreation of an old brand that once was partnered by Red Spot, Green Spot and Blue Spot whiskeys. All bar Blue Spot have been re-released. The pot still content in Yellow Spot is medium weight, similar to Green Spot but aged for at least 12 years. It is drawn from three types of casks. Ex-bourbon and sherry casks are supplemented by some Malaga casks that previously held Pedro Ximenez wine. These PX casks add a good bit of weight, body and flavour, giving an extra dimension to the whiskey. Yellow Spot still retains some of the signature freshness that Green Spot has but offers a definite step up in quality and complexity.
Nose - Aromas of mown hay, cracked black pepper, nutmeg, clove oil and green tea. Sweet honey and peaches from the Malaga casks
Taste - Lots of body and hints of tropical fruits. Pot still spices, honey and red apple combine with flavours of creme brule, fresh coffee and toasted oak.
