Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is a benchmark expression of Ireland's traditional pot still style, combining both malted and unmalted barley to create a whiskey with distinctive texture and character. Produced at the Midleton Distillery, it is matured in a mix of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, allowing both fresh fruit notes and deeper sweetness to develop in balance. Originally created for Mitchell & Son wine merchants in Dublin, Green Spot has retained its reputation as one of the most authentic and recognisable examples of single pot still Irish whiskey.
The profile is lively and expressive, with a natural oiliness and gentle spice that sets it apart from lighter Irish styles. Fresh orchard fruits and citrus bring brightness, while vanilla and soft oak add warmth and structure. The interplay between creamy sweetness and peppery spice gives it a dynamic feel, making it both approachable and full of character. It's a whiskey that showcases the uniqueness of the pot still tradition with clarity and charm.
