Product Information

We deliver to a number of international destinations including the USA. Please use the 'Change Location' link above for an estimate in your local currency or find out more about international delivery Palate: Much like a good story or a great whiskey, the beginning, middle, and end should all be distinctive but seamlessly blend into one another. Not only that, you should still be thinking about and contemplating its meaning even after you have finished. You get the barley, you get the fruit, you get the distinctiveness of the Madeira and the high proof, but it is as if it is telling you its story in a comforting wise voice. Green Spot was first released in 1933, followed by a few more Spot colours. However, the bonder’s style category whiskies disappeared when distillery bottled releases took over the market. Green Spot was the last to be discontinued in the 1950s. Fortunately, Green Spot was reintroduced to the market in the early 2000s, and Yellow Spot whiskey followed in 2012

Palate: Sponge cake is the first thing that comes to mind, with those crumpets dripping with golden syrup from the nose coming through as well. Also some fruit jellies, and a late burst of oak spices coming through. While different from the Red Spot, I think these two are just as good. Whether which you think is better will just depend on your preference. In the online tasting, more folks preferred the Red Spot. Expectedly so because of the age statement and the less harsh abv. Palate: The taste really balances the aroma well. While you would expect to be overwhelmed by malt and sweetness, dried fruit and citrus emerge to round it out. The finish meets you with some tannic and oak notes that do not linger as long as expected. Overall warm and round with nice chewy texture.

The complete Spot Irish whiskey line up (image via Irish Distillers/Pernod Ricard) Tasting Notes: Green Spot

Irish whiskey producers generally use a mix of malted and unmalted barley for their mash bill – unlike the Scots, who use all malted barley – and these unmalted grains may enhance earthy, oily notes in the spirit. They generally dry the grains with ovens, instead of the Scots’ traditional peat fires, so with some exceptions Irish whiskeys don’t have the smoky aromas that characterize many scotch whiskies. Finally, Irish whiskeys are typically distilled three times, which is one more go-around than is usual for most scotch whiskies. Blue Spot was re-introduced to the lineup in November 2020 using whiskey matured in Bourbon, Sherry, and Madeira casks to reflect the historical Blue Spot. The re-introduction was released at an age statement of 7 years, non-chill filtered and bottled at cask strength 56.7% ABV, but the ABV will vary annually.

Gold Spot

Green, Yellow, Red, Blue; you can be forgiven if you thought today was another edition of the Johnnie Walker colours. But today, I am looking at an Irish whiskey. Yellow Spot whiskey is the second addition to the ‘Spot’ range of Irish whiskies. Appearance: Pale and golden in color. Really catches the light as it is swirled in the glass and clings to the sides as it slowly forms legs that cling to the side. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Nose: The Malaga wine cask effect is subtle but effective – soft fruits, mildly vinous, with a strong heart of butterscotch and buttery caramel. Like Green Spot, the cereal notes are in balance, and just this side of light. It bears little to no resemblance to Redbreast, despite the similar distillation. Deeper in the glass, there is an undercurrent of vanilla cake frosting.
