Green Spot was originally and still is produced exclusively for the Mitchell family who commenced trading in Dublin in 1805 as purveyors of confectionary, wines and fortified wines. In 1887, this 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 which were then filled and returned to the Mitchell's cellar warehouse. There the whiskies matured for many years under bond until they were ready to be bottled and sold.

Green Spot is a blend of whiskies with an average age of 7 – 9 years distilled in a single pot still in Midleton, Co Cork. Its name relates to the old practice of marking barrels with a daub of colour representing a particular age.

Tasting Notes

Finish: Lingering flavours of spices and barley.

With a distilling history dating back to the 19th century, Midleton’s renowned bounty has been said to have drawn whiskey into being.

From its beginnings on the banks of the crystalline Dungourney River, Midleton Distillery’s links with the land run deep and long.

Of course whiskey is also the lifeblood of a people and their aspirations. And this town has always been a pioneering community, from the moment the Murphy family started to distil here in 1825.
