DESCRIPTION

Discontinued in the mid-1960s, Red Spot was reintroduced to Irish Distillers’ core range of single pot still Irish whiskeys in 2018. "The Spot" whiskey range was first released during the early 1900s, taking its name from the daub of coloured paint used to mark maturing casks to determine the potential age of the whiskey – a blue mark indicated 7 years, green 10, yellow 12 and red 15. Produced at the New Midleton distillery based on an old recipe handed down by Mitchell & Son, the Red Spot is matured for at least 15 years in a combination of ex-bourbon, Oloroso sherry and marsala fortified wine casks. Non-chillfiltered and bottled at 46%.

OFFICIAL TASTING NOTES

Nose: Pot still spices with rich cooked fruit, baked apple, mango and black cherry. Hazelnut and a touch of new leather fuse with toasted American oak.

Palate: A mix of ripe fruit sweetness from the Marsala seasoned wine casks. While the fruit remains, sweet red pepper and cracked black pepper add some spiciness, finished by notes of American oak and barley.

Finish: An extra-long infusion of fruits and spices.

"Wonderful"

Winter dram

"Lovely thick and inviting aroma, very jammy with hints of blackcurrant. First sip just warms you up, perfect dram for a cold winter night. Some peppery spiciness balanced with the sweetness from the Madeira. Fantastic lingering finish that leaves some lemon or lime notes. 🥃"

Just great stuff!

"I don't know if anyone else was as excited about this whiskey coming to SA as I was, but I am very happy that it's finally here! I almost immediately get that typical Pot Still nose on the dram and from start to finish, it was all worth the wait. The nose is rich and inviting and the palate has a whole range of flavors that come through with every sip. My favorite is definitely the finish, it is long and leaves a beautiful spicy yet sweet dark chocolate and fruit note behind. Definitely recommend buying a bottle or two as i think it is a great value for money dram!"

Approachable and complex

"Really great whisky, well enjoyed, easy to drink. Approachable and fruity yet complex. The sherry / marsala gives you that lovely warm feeling for those colder nights."

A Welcomed Spot

"An excellent whisky with red-wine poached apples, cinnamon, jam, sweet grain and berries. Lots going on with the palate the highlight for me. A very welcomed additional to the Spot range and my new favourite."
