Green Spot Whiskey

Green Spot is an Irish single pot still whiskey produced at the traditional Midleton Distillery in County Cork. Its roots date back to the 19th century, when Dublin wine merchant Mitchell & Son began storing and marketing whiskey in their own casks. The name "Green Spot" comes from a colour-coded system used to mark the casks according to their degree of maturity.

Green Spot was originally produced exclusively for the Mitchell family who, commenced trading in 1805 on 10 Grafton St. in the heart of Dublin city as purveyors of fine wines and confectionary. Four generations later, the company is still in the wine and spirits business, under the stewardship of Jonathan Mitchell and his son Robert.

The Mitchell family expanded into whiskey bonding in 1887, whereby they sent empty wine, sherry and port casks via horse and cart to the local Jameson Distillery, which were then filled and returned to the Mitchell’s cellar warehouse. There, the whiskeys matured for many years under bond until they were ready to be bottled and sold.

Such a great whiskey!
