“Unquestionably One of the World’s Great Whiskeys”
– Jim Murray
Just here we agree with the good Mr. Murray, in its whiskey Bible Roses Mitchell’s Green Spot to the clouds. Pastly this 7-10 year old single pot still whiskey is slightly more soft and summery, for example, compared with redbreasts rich and oiled.
Color: Golden.
Fragrance: The closest essential scent of grated lemon and orange peel melts along with barley, brown farin and newly burning oak dish.
Taste: It is hard not to get associations to Ireland’s soft grassy hills. Green apples, carnations, malt sugar and velvet sleeve gait seeds softly for the tongue.
Serving suggestions: should be enjoyed clean.
Green Spot is one of the oldest Irish whiskeys. The story starts at the Mitchell family, right back in the 19th century. The Mitchell family was an entreprenant merchant family as since 1805 had run business in Dublin and as the family business grew, the range was expanded with own bottling of the local whiskey from Old Jameson Distillery, who then was in Dublin. Empty vineyards and liqueur jams from Portugal and Spain were refilled new spirits and stored for many years under the Mitchell family store in Fitzwilliam Street. The customers in the store could for a long years choose between a Blue, Red, Yellow and Green Spot bottling – all with different ages and character. However, it was always Green Spot, as customers preferably would have, and whiskemarked then also survived the tide tooth entirely until the late 1960s, where Jameson distiller in Dublin closed and production was moved to Midleton in Cork.
Midleton Distillery, close to the harbor town of Cork, with several lengths of Ireland’s largest distillery. It is home to one of the world’s largest pot stills and a pearl of highly loved whiskeys such as Jameson, Redbreast, Powers, Paddy, Green Spot and Writers Tears. Many good drops run by the boilers on the distillery, which are almost divided into two; In one part you make Grain Whiskey on column boilers, while in the other typically Irish single pot still whiskey. Grain whiskey is used in Blends such as Jameson, and here is also used the unique Irish single pot still whiskey, which is made with both malted and unpainted barley, but this tapped in larger and larger style without incorporating Grain Whiskey – certainly a good sign for The future of Irish whiskey.
