Red Spot is the newest addition to the revived 'Spot' range of Single Pot Still whiskies from Ireland's largest distillery, Midleton. This famous whiskey has its roots in the 1800s, when original owners Mitchell & Son matured their casks under Dublin's cobbled streets. They would mark the cask ends with spots of paint to categorise them - and the 'Spot' concept was born.  This expression has been matured in a combination of ex bourbon, sherry and Marsala wine casks for a minimum of 15 years. It offers more complexity and age than the Green and Yellow Spot versions, exploring creative cask types to add intriguing depth of flavour.

 On the nose, there's delicate fruit notes of tarte aux fraises, candied oranges, butterscotch and malt loaf. The palate has a silky mouthfeel with more red fruits, marzipan, gingerbread and sultanas. The finish brings the sweet wine influence to the fore, with honeyed fruits and a slight waxiness.  A must-try whiskey for any Irish Pot Still whiskey fan and a great addition to this beloved range.
