Yellow Spot 12 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Rich, refined, and steeped in tradition, Yellow Spot 12 Year Old represents the perfect balance between age, craftsmanship, and cask influence. Matured for a minimum of twelve years in a unique combination of bourbon, sherry, and Malaga wine casks, it delivers a depth and complexity that elevate it among Ireland’s finest single pot still whiskeys.
On the nose, it opens with aromas of ripe peach, honey, and toasted oak, leading to a luxurious palate of orchard fruit, dried fig, vanilla, and warm spice. The Malaga cask influence imparts a luscious sweetness that complements the rich malt and sherry depth, while the finish lingers with notes of fruit, oak, and creamy toffee. Bottled at 46% ABV, it’s full-bodied yet remarkably smooth — the hallmark of the Spot Whiskey legacy.
First introduced by Mitchell & Son, Dublin’s historic wine and spirits merchant, and crafted at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Yellow Spot continues a tradition that dates back to the late 1800s. Each bottle carries the legacy of Ireland’s unique single pot still style — a whiskey of elegance, warmth, and unmistakable Irish character.

NVYellow Spot 12 Year Old is a beautifully complex and layered Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, representing the perfect harmony between age, cask influence, and craftsmanship.

Bottled at 46% ABV, it delivers a full-bodied, luxurious mouthfeel while maintaining the smooth elegance characteristic of the Spot Whiskey family.
On the palate, Yellow Spot reveals bright orchard fruit and honeyed malt layered with dried fruit, vanilla, and warm oak spice. The influence of Malaga casks — a rare choice in whiskey maturation — adds a signature note of sweetness and richness, setting Yellow Spot apart as a singular and memorable expression.
Produced at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork for Mitchell & Son, one of Dublin’s oldest wine and spirits merchants, Yellow Spot continues a whiskey-making legacy dating back to the late 19th century. The original “Spot” range was born from the Mitchell family’s tradition of marking whiskey casks with coloured spots to denote their age and style — Green for youthful vibrancy, Yellow for mature balance, and Red for depth and richness.
Revived in the modern era by Irish Distillers, Yellow Spot is one of the few remaining Single Pot Still whiskeys — a style unique to Ireland and celebrated for its creamy texture and complex spice. Every bottle reflects a dedication to traditional craftsmanship, fine wood management, and the legacy of Dublin’s golden age of whiskey. Rich, refined, and deeply satisfying, Yellow Spot embodies the perfect blend of history and modern excellence.
