“Dance first. Think later. It’s the natural order.”

Samuel Beckett

Among the many notable playwrights, Irish writers and even politicians who have been known to enjoy Green Spot, Samuel Beckett is one who stands out. From 1906 to 1989, Samuel Barclay Beckett was best known as an avant-garde novelist and playwright. But his skills extended to whiskey too, as although he spent a lot of his adult life in Paris, he had the foresight to always order his Green Spot whiskey from the Mitchell & Son Wine Merchants shop. And from there, his two friends from Westport would bring over his cases to Paris, how many ‘survived’ each journey is anyone’s guess.

Irish Wine geese

The Wine Geese are a group of Irish men and women who left Ireland to establish wineries all over the world.

We are proud for our old Irish family to combine with these old Irish families to bring together our world famous drinks.

Château Léoville Barton gives our Green Spot a little red wine floral perfume and ripe berries, and Château Montelena contributes pomegranate, cranberries and maraschino cherries.

Spotlight on spots

Mitchell & Son matured their whiskey in casks under the streets of Dublin in their network of underground cellars. When their fortified wine casks were filled exclusively with Jameson spirit from the old Bow St. Distillery, they were marked with a daub or ‘spot’ of paint which identified how long the barrels would be matured for. Blue for 7 years, Green for 10 years, Yellow for 12 years and Red for 15 years—hence the name Spot Whiskey.

It has long been argued as to which is the greatest of the Spot whiskeys. It’s a question that has divided families for centuries and indeed the Mitchells themselves. So rather than dare suggest which is greater than which, we thought it best to leave it to you to taste them all.

"The light music of whiskey falling into glasses..."

James Joyce

There are several Irish whiskeys named in honour of James Joyce, but his favourite whiskey was known to be our very own Yellow Spot Pot Still Whiskey. Yellow Spot was not just Joyce’s favourite whiskey, but Dublin’s favourite tipple.

Yellow Spot was also a favourite of William Butler Yeats, and more recently is enjoyed by Daniel Day Lewis and Mick Jagger.

The Spot Collection

Under the hustle and bustle of cobbled Dublin streets in the early 1900s, a rare whiskey was quietly making a name for itself. The simple act of marking barrels with spots of coloured paint would not only signify their age potential, but would become the namesake for this coveted whiskey, bonded and bottled by The Mitchells – a seventh generation family business.
