Yellow Spot 12 Year Irish Whiskey is a legendary revival from Mitchell & Son — one of Dublin's oldest wine merchants. The name derives from Mitchell's historic practice of marking maturing whiskey casks with colored paint daubs to indicate age potential: Blue Spot (8 year), Green Spot (10 year), Yellow Spot (12 year), and Red Spot (15 year). In time, all but Green Spot disappeared — Yellow Spot last seen on shelves in the early 1960s before its triumphant return. A single pot still Irish whiskey matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon, Sherry, and Malaga casks for a rich, complex, and distinctly Irish character. Bottled at 46% ABV.
