The Spot Collection
Four expressions, four distinct personalities โ from the smooth, approachable character of Green Spot to the rich depth and complexity of Blue and Red Spot.
๐ A Little Spot History
The Spot family has its roots in Mitchell & Son, the famous Dublin wine and spirits merchant. The tradition began with their practice of marking whiskey casks with coloured paint to indicate their age and style โ giving rise to the iconic Spot range. Today, each expression showcases a different side of Irish pot-still whiskey.
