Red Spot was originally produced exclusively by the Mitchell family who commenced trading in 1805 on Grafton Street in Dublin as purveyors of confectionery, wines and fortified wines. The family's entrepreneurial spirit expanded into the whiskey bonding business back in 1887, whereby they matured their whiskey for many years beneath the cobbled streets of Dublin.
The Red Spot name originated from the family's practice of marking casks of different ages with a spot of coloured paint. There was a Blue Spot, Green Spot, Yellow Spot, and of course Red Spot. As a colourful history would have it, this revered Red Spot has remained underground until now.
This Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey has matured for over 15 years in a combination of American Bourbon casks, Spanish sherry butts and Sicilian Marsala wine casks, all contributing rich and complex flavours, making it the top spot in the range.

Tasting Notes
Colour
A warm, coppery amber with ruby-red highlights and a slight mahogany glow.
Nose
Pot still spices frame rich cooked fruit, with baked apple, mango and black cherry. Hazelnut threads through the aroma, a hint of new leather, all fused with toasted American oak.
Palate
Ripe fruit sweetness from Marsala-seasoned casks lingers across the palate, with the fruit remaining bright but nuanced by sweet red pepper and cracked black pepper. A gentle spice accrues, leading to a long finish of toasted American oak and barley.
Finish
An exceptionally long finish of ripe fruit and spice, with Marsala-infused sweetness lingering beside peppery warmth and toasted American oak.
