Yellow Spot 12 Year Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

In 1805, the Mitchell Merchant family commenced trading at 10 Grafton St. in the heart of Dublin city as purveyors of wines and fortified wines. Eventually, they entered the whiskey bonding business and sold a range of whiskeys under their “spot” brand name. This odd way of naming whisky originated from their practice of marking casks of different ages with a spot of colored paint, with each color representing a particular age. These whiskeys are now produced at Midleton Distillery and are all pot still style whiskeys with a mixture of malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled.
