Yellow Spot 12Y

Ireland’s Hidden Gem of Patience and Craft.
Yellow Spot 12 Year Old is one of Ireland’s rare treasures—a triple-distilled single pot still whiskey that carries the legacy of Dublin’s historic Mitchell & Son wine merchants. Originally created in the 1800s as part of the famous “Spot” range, this expression is matured for a full twelve years in a trio of casks: bourbon, sherry, and Malaga wine. The result is a whiskey of extraordinary depth and character, balancing rich sweetness with a vibrant, fruity zest that captures the soul of Irish craftsmanship.

From the first sip, Yellow Spot envelops the senses with notes of honey, apricot, toasted oak, and baking spice, followed by layers of red fruit, vanilla, and a hint of nutty warmth. The Malaga wine cask imparts a luscious sweetness that perfectly complements the smooth texture of the pot still spirit. Non-chill filtered to retain its natural richness, this whiskey rewards slow sipping and quiet contemplation—a taste of Irish heritage brought beautifully into the modern age.

For whiskey lovers in Ireland, Yellow Spot represents the best of both worlds: tradition and innovation, depth and approachability. It’s a whiskey to savour, to share, and to celebrate—a luxurious expression that reminds you why Irish whiskey is loved the world over.

Why we love it:
We love Yellow Spot for its perfect balance between fruity sweetness, spice, and creamy pot still texture. The influence of Malaga casks adds an indulgent dessert-like richness, while the 12-year ageing brings elegance and maturity. Non-chill filtered and beautifully balanced, it’s a whiskey that captures the artistry of Ireland’s whiskey revival and rewards every sip.
