Blue Spot's name was derived from Mitchell's practice of marking the maturing casks of whiskey with a mark or daub of colored paint to determine the ageing potential of the whiskey. Blue Spot is a 7-year-old whiskey, Green Spot (10-year-old), Yellow Spot (12-year-old), and Red Spot (15-year-old).
Blue Spot Irish Whiskey embodies the unmistakable qualities of Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. Blue Spot is matured for no less than seven years in Bourbon casks, Sherry butts, and Portuguese Madeira casks, all bottled at cask strength for you to enjoy! As a colorful history would have it, this revered Blue Spot remained underground until now, and its introduction reunites the historical Spot Family for the first time in over 56 years.
Aroma: A light mix of pineapple, kiwi, green banana, and lime zest, followed by Pot Still spices, baked apple, hazelnut, and toasted wood.
Palate: A smooth mouthfeel with a subtle mix of fruit, a hint of clove, and cracked black peppercorns. Sweet spices, vanilla, and cinnamon add to the wood’s nutty contribution.
Finish: A lasting and distinctly palatable balance of exotic fruits and spices.
