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.

TASTING NOTES - A brilliant deep gold color with a rich, heavy, and oily mouthfeel that fully coats the palate.

NOSE - Complex and highly aromatic, bursting with notes of cooked ripe fruits, baked red apples, black cherry, and sweet mango, balanced by toasted hazelnut, old leather, and a hint of wood spice.

PALATE - Rich, thick, and deeply textured on the tongue, offering bold flavors of sweet baking spices, baked pear, dark chocolate, ripe plums, and a unique, sweet herbal woodiness derived from the Marsala casks.

FINISH - Long, warm, and highly satisfying, with lingering notes of roasted nuts, sweet cinnamon, and dried dark fruits.

SERVE - Best served neat in a tulip or Glencairn glass to allow the complex fruit and wood aromas to fully breathe, or with just a few drops of pure water to open up the spice layers.
