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:
“The yellow pool has overflowed high up on Clooth-na-Bare,
For the wet winds are blowing out of the clinging air;
Like heavy flooded waters our bodies and our blood;
But purer than a tall candle before the Holy Rood
Is Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“If a person lost would conclude that after all he is not lost, he is not beside himself, but standing in his own old shoes on the very spot where he is, and that for the time being he will live there; but the places that have known him, they are lost,—how much anxiety and danger would vanish.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
