Blue Spot is a whiskey with a remarkable story. The Mitchell family of Dublin originally marked their maturing casks with a daub of coloured paint to indicate age potential: Blue for 7 years, Green for 10, Yellow for 12, and Red for 15. Blue Spot disappeared for over 56 years before being reintroduced, reuniting the historic Spot family for the first time in more than half a century. As Master Distiller Kevin O'Gorman put it: "It is with absolute pleasure that we reintroduce Blue Spot and bring a piece of Dublin's rich whiskey history back to life."

Why You'll Love It

Blue Spot embodies the unmistakable qualities of single pot still Irish whiskey at its most vibrant. Matured for a minimum of 7 years across three cask types and bottled at cask strength without chill filtration, it is a whiskey of real intensity and character. This is not a whiskey to sip passively. It rewards attention, and it delivers.

Distillery and Production

Midleton Distillery, County Cork, Ireland. Single pot still Irish whiskey, bonded exclusively for Mitchell and Son of Dublin. Aged a minimum of 7 years in bourbon casks, sherry butts, and Portuguese Madeira casks. Bottled at cask strength, 58.9% ABV, non-chill filtered.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A light mix of pineapple, kiwi, green banana, and lime zest, followed by pot still spices, baked apple, hazelnut, and toasted wood. Palate: Smooth mouthfeel with a subtle mix of fruit, a hint of clove oil, and cracked black pepper. Sweet spices, vanilla, and cinnamon add to the wood's nutty contribution. Finish: Long and distinctly palatable, with a lasting balance of exotic fruits and spices.

Perfect Pairings

Best enjoyed with a few drops of water to open up the cask strength intensity. Pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, smoked meats, and aged hard cheeses. A serious dram for serious whiskey lovers.
