Yellow Spot Irish Whiskey 12yrs (750ml)

Single pot still Irish whiskey, aged 12 years, this bottling comes from the Spot Whiskeys range produced by Mitchell & Son of Ireland. Single pot still is a distinctively Irish method, using a mix of malted and unmalted barley distilled in pot stills, and it gives the style its characteristic weight and spice. The Spot line takes its name from the old Mitchell & Son practice of marking casks with a dab of colored paint to note their age, and the yellow mark here signals this 12 year expression.

Expect the creamy, slightly oily texture that defines pot still whiskey, carrying orchard fruit, honeyed sweetness, and a peppery grain edge, with the extended aging adding depth and a rounder finish. It rewards slow sipping neat, and a few drops of water will open up the softer notes. A pour for someone who wants to understand what makes Irish pot still whiskey its own thing rather than a blended crowd-pleaser.
