Single Pot Still — Ireland

Green Spot can trace its roots to the early 1900s, when Jameson sold whiskey to wine merchants Mitchell & Son, it was common then for wine merchants and publicans to bottle their own whiskey but sell it under the distiller's brand name. It was called Pat's Whiskey in the early part of the 20th century and became part of a range that included Blue Spot, Yellow Spot and Red Spot, all of which had different ages and recipes. The current Green Spot is made at Midleton from pot still whiskey aged between seven and nine years, with 25% coming from sherry casks and a medium weight pot still content. Made in very limited quantities. Very good value at €60. Have tasted the Red, Green and Yellow Spot - have to say that the Yellow is the best.
Nose - Gently spicy and oaky on the nose. Some fruit aromas of pineapple, red apples, mango and papaya then some ginger, vanilla and honey.
Taste - Juicy and fresh with some syrupy fruit flavours of tropical fruit salad, pineapple, then some honey and ginger on the finish.

@Scott_E Try the Red Spot. Loved the 10 year old Green Spot - but after drinking it I went for another bottle - but have not found one yet 😢
@1901 That’s the great thing about whiskey - we all taste something different. Important thing is to enjoy it 👍
@1901 Same here. Though not taking anything away from Yellow. Quite good as well.
I’m going to respectfully disagree with you learned gentlemen. I’m on the Green team.
Yup Yellow is my favourite also. Recent bottlings didn't seem as good but probably just me.
