Dublin's Pot Still Classic

It is the benchmark other single pot stills are measured against. Discover the full Spot whiskey family or start with the wider Irish whiskey range.
Tasting Notes
Per Mitchell & Son: the nose shows fresh aromatic oils and spices with orchard fruits and barley on a toasted-wood background. The taste is a full spicy body — a hint of cloves with the fruity sweetness of green apples, rounded off with toasted oak. The finish lingers with spice and barley.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a drop of water — this is a whiskey built for slow sipping. Its clove and green-apple character also makes a superb Irish Old Fashioned.
