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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue Spot embodies the unmistakable qualities of single pot still Irish whiskey at its most vibrant.
