Description

Yellow Spot is a premium single pot still Irish whiskey, aged for 12 years in a combination of American bourbon barrels, Spanish sherry butts, and sweet Malaga wine casks. This diverse maturation imparts rich, layered flavours, making it a highly regarded expression in the Spot whiskey family.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Fragrant aromas of freshly cut hay, cracked black pepper, red bell pepper, clove, and nutmeg, with underlying hints of honey, peach, and apricot from the Malaga cask influence.

• Palate: A vibrant medley of honey sweetness and warming pot still spices, evolving into creamy milk chocolate, freshly brewed coffee, and notes of red apples and crème brûlée.

• Finish: Long, sophisticated and smooth, finishing with soft oak, red grape, and barley malt dryness.

• Cigar Pairing:

  Pair this whiskey with a Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 or similar medium-bodied cigar. The cigar’s creamy texture and gentle spice enhance Yellow Spot’s honeyed, fruity complexity without overpowering its refined balance.
