Green Spot Whiskey

The name Green Spot comes from the Dublin wine merchant Mitchell & Son, who once marked the maturity of their casks with coloured dots painted on the barrels. The whiskey itself, a classic Irish single pot still, is distilled at the Midleton distillery but matured to Mitchell's own, closely guarded recipe. It's a whiskey rooted in retail rather than in a single distillery - a rare construction in the whisky world.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280017

    Green Spot Chateau Montelena Finish is a Single Pot Still whiskey with a distinct Irish character and an elegant wine influence from Napa Valley, California.

    Expert Review

    Green Spot Chateau Montelena Irish Whiskey is a Pure Potstill Irish Malt Whiskey, bottled at 46%.

    The whiskey is triple distilled and matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, before its finishing maturation in wine casks from Chateau Montelena, one of Napa Valley's most acclaimed wineries. The whiskey builds on the historic tradition of Mitchell & Son in Dublin, where Green Spot could originally only be bought as a classic grocer's whiskey. This edition preserves that heritage while adding a modern twist through the wine casks.

    "Unquestionably one of the world's great whiskeys," writes whisky critic Jim Murray in his Whisky Bible about Green Spot – and it's hard to disagree.

    Expert Review

    Green Spot Pure Potstill Irish Whiskey is a Pure Potstill Irish Malt Whiskey, bottled at 40%.

    The whiskey is triple distilled at the Midleton distillery, and matured and bottled for Mitchell & Son of Dublin. Green Spot is one of Ireland's oldest and most beloved whiskey brands, with history dating back to 1887, when the Mitchell family's grocery business sold its own bottlings of local whiskey. The style is softer and more summery than the full-bodied, oily character found in Redbreast. The colour is golden maple syrup with amber-tinted edges. The nose offers grated citrus and orange peel, melding with barley malt and malt sugar. The palate evokes Ireland's soft, grassy hills: green apples, cloves and velvety oak sweetness.

  • Green Spot Leoville Barton Pure Potstill Irish Whiskey bottle
    Item no.: 22227865463-7500

    Green Spot Léoville Barton is a Single Pot Still whiskey where Irish tradition meets classic Bordeaux elegance in a finish using wine casks from the renowned château Léoville Barton.

    Expert Review

    Green Spot Leoville Barton Irish Pure Potstill Irish Whiskey is a Pure Potstill Irish Malt Whiskey, bottled at 46%.

    The whiskey is first matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, before receiving its finishing period in wine casks from the renowned Bordeaux château Léoville Barton. This gives a deep, fruity and wine-driven dimension that lifts the classic Green Spot profile in a darker, more complex direction. The nose offers ripe red berries, light spice, vanilla and the characteristic pot still spiciness. The palate is full and rounded, with notes of dark grapes, blackcurrant, malt, caramel and a mild tannic structure from the wine casks.

About Green Spot Whiskey

Green Spot is an Irish single pot still whiskey from the historic Dublin wine merchant Mitchell & Son, distilled at Midleton. For a newcomer, it's a full-bodied, spiced, fruity introduction to the pot still category; for the connoisseur, the 'Spot' range - Green, Yellow, Red and Blue - is one of the most respected Irish whiskey families, precisely because it originates from an independent wine merchant's own selection of casks rather than a distillery's standard production.

History & background

The series stems from a tradition where Mitchell & Son marked cask age with colored paint spots, which is where the name 'Spot' comes from.

Production & style

The whiskey is distilled at the Midleton distillery using classic Irish pot still methods and aged in a mix of bourbon, sherry, and madeira casks.

Signature style

Fruity, Spiced, Complex
The flavor offers a complex, fruity character with clear spiced notes from the pot still process.
