Description

Yellow Spot is a 12 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. Rather than being simply a 'finished' whiskey, Yellow Spot is special in that it contains whiskey that has been matured for a full 12 year period in three oak cask types (new bourbon, refill bourbon and sherry casks) Only extremely limited quantities of Yellow Spot have been bottled making it a whiskey to seek out and savour as a true rarity. On the nose, fresh aromatic oils and spices on a background of toasted wood. The body is full, with a hint of clove, overlaid in the sweetness of apples and toasted oak.

About this SPIRIT

Green Spot

Green Spot

Green Spot is the oldest continuously made pot-still Irish Whiskey. It is distilled by John Jameson & Son for long established Dublin wine merchants, Mitchell & Son. Green Spot pot still whiskey has been produced since the turn of the 19th century.

It is currently the only brand produced and sold under name specifically for an independent wine merchant in Ireland. The last from a range of "Coloured Spot" whiskeys. Only 500 cases are produced each year.

When is a wine ready to drink?

We provide drinking windows for all our wines. Alongside the drinking windows there is a bottle icon and a maturity stage. Bear in mind that the best time to drink a wine does also depend on your taste.

Not ready

These wines are very young. Whilst they're likely to have lots of intense flavours, their acidity or tannins may make them feel austere. Although it isn't "wrong" to drink these wines now, you are likely to miss out on a lot of complexity by not waiting for them to mature.

Ready - youthful

These wines are likely to have plenty of fruit flavours still and, for red wines, the tannins may well be quite noticeable. For those who prefer younger, fruitier wines, or if serving alongside a robust meal, these will be very enjoyable. If you choose to hold onto these wines, the fruit flavours will evolve into more savoury complexity.

Ready - at best

These wines are likely to have a beautiful balance of fruit, spice and savoury flavours. The acidity and tannins will have softened somewhat, and the wines will show plenty of complexity. For many, this is seen as the ideal time to drink and enjoy these wines. If you choose to hold onto these wines, they will become more savoury but not necessarily more complex.

Ready - mature

These wines are likely to have plenty of complexity, but the fruit flavours will have been almost completely replaced by savoury and spice notes. These wines may have a beautiful texture at this stage of maturity. There is lots to enjoy when drinking wines at this stage. Most of these wines will hold in this window for a few years, though at the very end of this drinking window, wines start to lose complexity and decline.
