Expert Review

Yellow Spot 12 Year Old Pure Potstill Irish Whiskey is a Pure Potstill Irish Malt Whiskey, bottled at 46%.

The whiskey is triple distilled, non chill-filtered, and matured for 12 years across three different cask types: bourbon, sherry and Malaga casks. Like Green Spot, the name comes from Mitchell & Son of Dublin, where the family sold its own whiskey bottlings under colour codes such as Blue, Red, Yellow and Green Spot since 1887. The combination of the three cask types gives Yellow Spot a depth and complexity that sets it apart from the younger Green Spot.
