Dive into a world of rich, heritage-filled Irish whiskey with the delectable Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. Crafted by the well-established Mitchell & Son, a name of repute in Ireland's spirits industry for over 200 years, this exceptional whiskey is a true testament to Ireland's centuries-old tradition and craft of whiskey making.
The story of Green Spot dates back to 1887 when the Mitchell family embarked on a journey of whiskey bonding. They initiated an innovative practice of sending their empty wine, sherry and port casks to the renowned Jameson Distillery, located a short horse and cart ride away. These casks were then filled with the finest whiskey and returned to the Mitchell’s cellar warehouse where they would remain, maturing to perfection over many years under bond. When they were finally ready, the whiskeys would be bottled and sold, each one a unique testament to the passage of time.
Green Spot is a non-age statement Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, offering a harmonious blend of pot still whiskeys aged between 7 and 10 years. The maturation process involves a unique combination of new bourbon and refill bourbon casks, as well as sherry casks. This not only imparts a deep, golden hue to the spirit but also enhances its flavour and aroma profiles with the subtleties of each cask type.
The sensory journey begins with a fragrant nose, replete with fresh aromatic oils, spices, and a veritable fruit basket of orchard fruits, all set against a warm background of toasted wood. The tasting notes are equally impressive. Its full, spicy body unravels gently to reveal a hint of cloves along with the fruity sweetness of green apples, all tied together with the rich warmth of toasted oak. Each sip lingers on the palate, leaving behind flavours of spices and barley.
The legacy of the Mitchell family extends beyond the creation of the original Green Spot. They've crafted an entire series of 'Spot' whiskies, each with its unique age statement and flavour profile. These whiskies, produced in collaboration with the Jameson Distillery, exemplify Mitchell & Son's commitment to quality, their innovative spirit, and their enduring love for crafting the finest Irish whiskey.
In essence, Green Spot symbolises an enthralling fusion of history, innovation, and craft in the realm of Irish whiskey. It is a distillation of the Mitchell family's pioneering spirit, their expertise, and their dedication to creating the highest quality Irish whiskey. Their reputation, earned from over two centuries of unwavering dedication to their craft, is as robust and unyielding as their cherished 'Spot' whiskies.
