Red Spot Irish Whiskey

Red Spot Irish Whiskey is a highly prestigious, rich, and deeply complex Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey that was revived after being dormant for half a century. Crafted at the renowned Midleton Distillery for independent wine merchants Mitchell & Son, this exceptional spirit is matured for a minimum of fifteen years. Its unique flavor profile is achieved through a meticulous triple-cask aging process, utilizing a combination of American Bourbon casks, Spanish Sherry butts, and Sicilian Marsala wine casks. This sophisticated wood program imbues the whiskey with a dense, jammy fruitiness, rich baking spices, and an incredibly smooth, velvety character that represents the pinnacle of the historic "Spot" whiskey range.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with slow-roasted pork belly with an apple glaze, rich blue cheeses like Stilton, roasted duck breast, or a dark chocolate almond torte.
