This sumptuously soft, iconic and highly awarded Irish pot still whisky (much loved by Oscar winning actor Daniel Day Lewis) was first crafted in the 1800’s in Dublin by Mitchell & Sons, who were a famous wine merchant, whiskey bonder, confectionery and bakery company. The simple act of marking empty barrels (that formerly contained first class sherry, port and dessert wine) with a green spot, indicated that the Dublin made whiskey going into them, was to be aged for 10 years, hence the name ‘Green Spot’. Today Jameson’s still supply the whiskey, but it now comes from their highly awarded Middleton distillery in Cork. Smooth, triple distilled Irish pot still whiskey is in high demand globally and this lovely one has won three prestigious Gold awards since 2017, indicating you simply must try it!
Smells.
Favourite old sweet shop, Sweetest barley sugar, green apples, perfumed spice rack, homemade malt biscuits, finest crème caramel.
Tastes.
Soft, caramelised sugar, home baked spiced apple pie, delicate hint of finest peppermint, fragrant vanilla and honeyed porridge. The finish is long and beguiling like a winding Irish country road.
