Could this be due to batch variation? The brand says the recipe is the same every time, but I think they make blending sound easy… which it really is not. Maybe my palate has changed? I’ve been eating food with more spices lately. Perhaps that’s a factor? Green Spot Single Cask, 54.9% ABV, batch of 312 bottles of 10-year-old Green Spot finished for 8 months in ex- Vinsanto wine cask, a greek sweet dessert wine. [10] 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.

When Mitchell & Son initially relaunched Yellow Spot, the plan was to produce limited batches of 500 cases per annum.

In the mouth: Hot and fruity with a much rounder texture. I get medium and more lasting tastes of Madeira, toffee, raisins, caramel, New Orleans chicory coffee, Portuguese egg tarts, and nutmeg. The end is as peppery as the start. Conclusions: a b c d e f g h McNamara, Stuart. "Mitchell's Green Spot Bordeaux Finish Irish Whiskey Review". irishwhiskey.com. IrishWhiskey.com . Retrieved 9 January 2017.Mitchell & Son re-released Yellow Spot in 2012 for the first time since production ceased in the late 1950’s. Originally one of a family of four “Spot” whiskies (so named as Mitchell & Son would splash a spot of paint on every cask to easily identify which bottling it was destined for – no different really to mum giving each kid a different coloured lunchbox to ensure we never took the wrong one), along with Green Spot (then 10 years old), Red Spot (15 years old), and Blue Spot (7 years old) – which is not currently bottled. Red Spot was only recently re-introduced, and has yet to make it down here to Australia.

Yellow Spot Irish Whiskey is some very nice stuff indeed. Rich oily and sweet barley nose combined with a warm sweet and rustic palate riding a creamy texture makes for a great drinking experience. I fully enjoy this whiskey and wish I had a bottle not just a sample. The only thing keeping it out of the 90s is that it’s a wee bit heavy on the barley notes which dulls the complex just enough enough to keep it out. Regardless, its’ still very nice whiskey indeed.

I get medium tastes of Thompson grapes, grape skin, roasted grapes, sultanas, baked apples coated in caramel and nuts, lemon peel oil, pink grapefruit, and cereals. Conclusions:

Using distillate obtained from Jameson's nearby Bow Street Distillery, Mitchell & Son matured whiskey in a mix of casks that had been used to hold both dark and light sherries in their cellars under Fitzwilliam Lane in Dublin. [2] For the first five years of maturation, half of the whiskey was aged in casks that had previously held Oloroso and other darker sherries, with the other half aged in casks that had held lighter finos. [2] This combination prevented the darker wines from overpowering the whiskey. [1] After five years, whiskeys from the respective light and dark sherry casks were then vatted together and allowed to mature for an additional five years in neutral oak. [1] This doesn’t seem to be as expressive as the previous sample of Yellow Spot I tried. It’s like every flavor is shy and clumped up. I know it’s not about oxidation since I let the whiskey sit in the glass for close to 15 minutes. Red Spot was re-introduced to the lineup in November 2018, again based on old family recipes from before it was discontinued 50 years prior. [3] This bottling is aged in bourbon barrels and sherry butts much like the other Spot Whiskeys, but with the addition of Marsala wine casks as well for a total of at least 15 years. [12] Blue Spot [ edit ] In the mouth: The greeting isn’t as hot as on the nose. I get light to medium peppery tastes of grapes, roasted grapes, yellow kiwi fruit, tepache, dehydrated lemon peel, orange-flavored vitamin c syrup, coffee, and chocolate. Conclusions: Green Spot is a single pot still Irish whiskey, produced specifically for Mitchell & Son of Dublin by Irish Distillers at the Midleton Distillery in Cork, Ireland. Green Spot is one of the few remaining bonded Irish whiskeys, along with Mitchell's three older offerings, Yellow Spot, Red Spot, and Blue Spot. It is one of only four whiskeys specifically produced for and sold by an independent wine merchant in Ireland.

Red Spot

On the nose: There are mostly light fruity aromas. I immediately smell Granny Smith apples, limoncello, papayas, dried apricots, Mandarin oranges, and honey.
