Frequently Asked Questions
What is Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey?
Single Pot Still is a style of Irish whiskey unique to Ireland — distilled in a traditional copper pot still from a mash of both malted and unmalted barley. This combination gives Single Pot Still whiskey its distinctive creamy, oily texture and complex spice character that sets it apart from single malt or grain whiskey. It is widely regarded as the most characterful and historically significant style of Irish whiskey.
What is the Spot Whiskey range?
The Spot Whiskeys — Green Spot, Yellow Spot, Red Spot, and Gold Spot — were originally created by Mitchell & Son, a Dublin wine merchant that began filling and bonding its own casks of Irish whiskey in the late 1800s. Each expression was identified by a colored spot painted on the cask. Gold Spot is the rarest and most limited of the range, making this 135th Anniversary edition an exceptional collector's release.
