About this spirit

Yellow Spot 12 Year Old is the sophisticated step up from Green Spot in the Mitchell and Son Spot Whiskey range. While Green Spot is often described as tasting like green apples, Yellow Spot is more in character with juicy red apples: richer, more complex, and with an exotic sweetness that sets it apart. Its existence owes something to a remarkable piece of luck: if it were not for the chance discovery of an old intact bottle of Yellow Spot in the Little Museum of Dublin, this delicious bottling might never have been re-released. Why You'll Love It Rather than being simply a finished whiskey, Yellow Spot is special in that it contains whiskey matured for a full 12 years across three oak cask types: American bourbon barrels, Spanish sherry butts, and uniquely, Spanish Malaga casks. The Malaga cask brings an exotic sweet note that makes this a truly distinctive taste experience. Bottled at 46% ABV, it has been recognised as one of the world's finest Irish whiskeys, earning 99 points and the Chairman's Trophy at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2017.
