Green Spot Irish Whiskey

750ml & 80 Proof

Green Spot Irish Whiskey is a Whiskey - Irish from the Blue/Green/Red/Yellow Spot Irish Whiskey brand hailing from Ireland.

What is Green Spot Irish Whiskey?

Green Spot Irish Whiskey is a rare gem in the world of Irish spirits, produced in limited quantities using a blend of pot still whiskeys aged between 7 and 10 years. Interestingly, this whiskey was originally created exclusively for the Mitchell family, who ran a popular wine and spirits shop in Dublin, and was not available to the general public until the 1980s when it finally entered wider distribution.

Why do we love Green Spot Irish Whiskey?

Green Spot Irish Whiskey stands out as a rare gem in the world of Irish whiskeys, being one of only two remaining bonded Irish whiskeys still in production today. This single pot still whiskey, crafted from a blend of malted and unmalted barley, offers a distinctively creamy mouthfeel and complex flavor profile that sets it apart from both rums and other whiskeys, making it an excellent choice for sipping neat or as a sophisticated base for cocktails.

How do you drink Green Spot Irish Whiskey?

Green Spot Irish Whiskey shines brightest when sipped neat or with a splash of water to open up its complex flavors, though it also performs admirably in whiskey-forward cocktails. This versatile spirit is a year-round pleasure, equally suited for warming you on a chilly autumn evening or refreshing you on a warm summer afternoon, and it pairs wonderfully with rich, savory dishes like roasted meats or aged cheeses.

Nose: Fresh green apples and pears dominate, backed by light honey sweetness. Hints of toasted oak and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg emerge. A subtle grassiness reminiscent of fresh hay rounds out the aroma.

Palate: Creamy texture with flavors of ripe orchard fruits - green apples, pears, and peaches. Vanilla and butterscotch notes blend with gentle oak spices. Mild pepper and nutmeg add complexity. A touch of citrus zest brightens the overall taste.

Finish: Medium-long and warming. The fruit flavors fade, leaving lingering notes of toasted oak, vanilla, and light spices. A subtle hint of barley sweetness appears at the very end, reminiscent of oatmeal cookies.

Green Spot Irish Whiskey is crafted using a blend of malted and unmalted barley, which undergoes triple distillation in traditional copper pot stills. What sets it apart is its unique maturation process, where the whiskey ages for 7 to 10 years in a combination of new oak, ex-bourbon, and ex-sherry casks, resulting in a complex flavor profile that balances fruit, spice, and oak notes.

  • Green Spot was originally a secret whiskey, sold exclusively to the Mitchell family's customers in Dublin. For over 100 years, you could only buy it directly from their grocery store, making it one of the rarest and most sought-after Irish whiskeys.
  • Unlike most Irish whiskeys, Green Spot uses a portion of whiskey aged in sherry casks that previously held Marsala wine from Sicily. This unique finishing process adds subtle flavors of dried fruits and nutmeg to the whiskey.
  • The "Spot" in Green Spot comes from the Mitchell family's practice of marking casks with a dab of colored paint to indicate the age of the whiskey inside. Green represented 10 years, though today's Green Spot is a blend of 7-10 year old whiskeys.
