Green Spot 10 Year Old 100 Year Anniversary Limited Edition
Spot Whiskey celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2025 with a limited edition 10-year-old release of its Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish whiskey! The Spot range gets its name from the founder, Mitchell & Son's practice of painting different coloured spots on casks to mark different ages, with Green Spot first advertised in The Irish Times in 1925. Matured for 10 years in a selection of bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at a satisfying 46% ABV, this whiskey boasts generous layers of orchard fruits, warming spices, and sweet vanilla.

Warming winter spices and sweet vanilla mingle with syrupy dried fruits, followed by granola and apple crumble, dusted with cinnamon.
Finish:
Warming and rich with long-lasting spices, a touch of pepper, cooked apples, and oaken vanilla.

Let’s talk about the history…
The Mitchell family commenced trading on Grafton St., Dublin, as purveyors of confectionery, wines and fortified wines in 1805. Over time, the entrepreneurial family expanded into whiskey bonding, sending empty wine, sherry, and Port casks to the Jameson distillery that were filled, then returned to the Mitchells' cellar warehouse to mature. The practice of marking casks of different ages with a spot of paint led to these whiskeys becoming known as the "Spot" range, and Green Spot was first advertised in The Irish Times in October 1925.
