Red Spot 15 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Rich, complex, and impeccably balanced, Red Spot 15 Year Old represents the pinnacle of the historic Spot Whiskey range - a whiskey of remarkable depth and distinction. Aged for a minimum of fifteen years in a trio of bourbon, Oloroso sherry, and Marsala wine casks, it embodies the perfect harmony of fruit, spice, and oak, delivering an experience of exceptional maturity and character.
On the nose, Red Spot bursts with aromas of ripe red berries, dried fruit, and toasted oak, while the palate unfolds with luxurious notes of cherry, honey, vanilla, and warm spice. The influence of Marsala wine casks adds a rich, velvety sweetness that lingers through the long, warming finish. Bottled at 46% ABV, it offers a silky mouthfeel and profound balance - a testament to Ireland’s mastery of single pot still whiskey-making.
Produced by Mitchell & Son, Dublin’s historic wine and spirit merchant, and crafted at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Red Spot revives a whiskey tradition dating back to the late 1800s, when casks were marked with coloured spots to indicate age and style. The “red spot” signified the most mature and prestigious expression - a whiskey of strength, richness, and refinement. Today, Red Spot 15 Year Old continues that legacy with distinction: bold yet graceful, deeply complex, and undeniably Irish.

Produced by Mitchell & Son, one of Dublin’s oldest wine and spirit merchants, and crafted at the renowned Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Red Spot continues a lineage that dates back to the late 1800s. The Mitchell family were among the first independent bonders in Ireland, filling their own wine casks with pot still whiskey from Jameson’s Bow Street Distillery. Each “Spot” was marked with a coloured daub of paint to signify age and character — with Red Spot denoting the most mature and complex expression.
Revived by Irish Distillers, Red Spot embodies over a century of tradition, uniting heritage cask selection with modern precision. The inclusion of Marsala wine casks adds a distinctive Mediterranean richness, enhancing its signature layers of fruit and spice. Bold yet graceful, Red Spot 15 Year Old is a whiskey of power, prestige, and exceptional depth — the pinnacle of the Spot Whiskey family.
