Once almost extinct, this legendary whiskey is a rare taste of Pot Still Irish Whiskey at its best. Matured in American bourbon and sherry casks, this is a whiskey of immense flavour and complexity. A splendid choice.

In 1805, the Mitchell merchant family commenced trading on 10 Grafton St, in the heart of Dublin city as purveyors of confectionery, wines and fortified wines.

In 1887, the entrepreneurial family expanded into the whiskey bonding business, whereby they sent empty wine, sherry and port casks via horse and cart to the local Jameson Distillery. These were then filled and returned to the Mitchell's cellar warehouse on Fitzwilliam Lane. There, beneath cobbled streets, the whiskeys matured for many years until they were ready to be bottled and sold.

The Mitchells sold a range of whiskeys under their "Spot" brand name. This rather peculiar name originated from their practice of marking casks of different ages with a daub or spot of coloured paint. There was a Blue Spot, Red Spot and ever a Yellow Spot, but Green Spot emerged as their most popular whiskey and is one of the few "whiskey bonder brands" to have survived to modern day.

Enjoy and savour as this is a true rarity.
