Yellow Spot
Mitchell & Son have announced the re-introduction of Yellow Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. The original Yellow Spot was last bottled in the 1950s. Yellow Spot contains single pot still whiskey that has been matured for 12 years in three oak cask types:
- American bourbon barrels,
- Spanish sherry butts and
- Spanish Malaga casks.
It is set to be produced annually in batches of just 500 cases, the same production level as Green Spot. Yellow Spot is bottled at 46% ABV. Most Irish whiskeys (including Green Spot) are bottled at 40% ABV.

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or spot:
“O hurry to the ragged wood, for there
I will drive all those lovers out and cry
O my share of the world, O yellow hair!
No one has ever loved but you and I.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and all the Virtues of Man without his Vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery, if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just Tribute to the Memory of BOATSWAIN, a Dog.”
—John Cam Hobhouse (1786–1869)
