Yellow Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whishey, 70 cl

Product Information

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. 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]

Ice: A cube or two of ice really brings forth the oak spice notes while flattening the sweetness quite a bit on the palate.

Single pot still whiskeys, which are historically unique to Ireland, are similar to single malts in that they are produced solely from pot still distillate. [15] However, in contrast to malts that only use malted barley in the mash, single pot still whiskeys are produced from a mixed mash that contains both malted and unmalted barley. [16] See also [ edit ] 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: Green Spot - The Living Relic of the Days of the Whiskey Bonders, 4 July 2012 on YouTube; 5:20 minutes. Yellow Spot is a Single Pot-Still Irish whiskey that has been bottled at 46% after being aged for 12 years in a mixture of ex-Bourbon casks, Sherry casks, and Malaga casks (a fortified wine from around the Spanish city of Malaga, made from Pedro Ximenez and Moscatel grapes) – a portion of the whiskey is aged full-term in its respective cask before being married prior to bottling. Yellow Spot is distilled at the Middleton Distillery for Mitchell & Son, family-owned merchants in Dublin. I guess we have the rising popularity of Irish whiskey to thank for the return of these old blends. We have to note that while Pernod Ricard (through Irish Distillers) may be the ones currently producing the Spot range, they didn’t create it. It’s a brand and blend created by the Mitchell family.

While you would expect to be overwhelmed by malt and sweetness, dried fruit and citrus emerge to round it out. The finish meets you with some tannic and oak notes that do not linger as long as expected. Overall warm and round with nice chewy texture. Palate: Sponge cake is the first thing that comes to mind, with those crumpets dripping with golden syrup from the nose coming through as well. Also some fruit jellies, and a late burst of oak spices coming through.

Tasting this offers a better experience. The different tastes last longer. Being full bodied and full of different grape flavors, I think, solidifies its identity, and also makes this more memorable.was the first time for the Red Spot to re-appear in the market since the 1960s. The whisky is bottled at 46% and aged for at least 15 years in ex-Bourbon, ex-Sherry, and ex-Marsala casks. If you’re not sure what Marsala is, it’s a type of fortified wine from Italy. Irish whiskey producers generally use a mix of malted and unmalted barley for their mash bill – unlike the Scots, who use all malted barley – and these unmalted grains may enhance earthy, oily notes in the spirit. They generally dry the grains with ovens, instead of the Scots’ traditional peat fires, so with some exceptions Irish whiskeys don’t have the smoky aromas that characterize many scotch whiskies. Finally, Irish whiskeys are typically distilled three times, which is one more go-around than is usual for most scotch whiskies.
