About Red Spot
Red Spot is a 15 year old single pot still Irish whiskey produced at Midleton Distillery for Mitchell & Son, the Dublin wine and spirits merchant behind the Spot Whiskey family. The name comes from Mitchell & Son’s old practice of marking maturing casks with coloured paint to show age, with red indicating whiskey intended for 15 years of maturation.
Reintroduced in 2018 after more than 50 years away, Red Spot is matured in American bourbon casks, Spanish sherry butts and Sicilian Marsala wine casks. Bottled at 46% ABV, it sits at the richer end of the Spot range, with pot still spice, cooked fruit, dried fruit, toasted oak, vanilla and wine-cask sweetness.
