Green Spot

Green Spot is one of the most beloved and authentic Irish whiskeys, with a rich history dating back to the early 1800s. Originally bottled by Mitchell & Son, it is a classic single pot still whiskey exclusively produced at the Midleton Distillery. Green Spot is a beautiful expression of Irish whiskey tradition, where fruity notes and spicy nuances come together in a silky smooth and balanced tasting experience.

Tasting note

Nose

An inviting aroma filled with juicy green apple, ripe pear, and sweet melon, complemented by a hint of vanilla and light spices. Notes of freshly cut grass and a subtle touch of oak add depth.

Taste

Rich flavors of honey, creamy vanilla, and soft malt blend harmoniously with ripe fruits like peach and citrus. A delicate hint of toasted almonds and white pepper adds a spicy dimension, while a light sherry influence enhances complexity.

Finish

Long and balanced, with lingering sweet spices, soft oak influences, and a refreshing touch of apple and lemon. The velvety texture remains pleasantly on the palate.
