Midleton — a single pot still Irish whiskey matured 12 years in American bourbon barrels, Malaga wine casks, and Spanish sherry butts — reviving the Yellow Spot name from Mitchell \u0026amp; Son's 19th-century bonded warehouse tradition, where 'Spots' designated the age of whiskey maturing in the merchant's private casks.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Spot Whiskeys series — Yellow, Green, Red, and Blue — takes its name from Mitchell \u0026amp; Son of Dublin placing colored spots on whiskey casks to identify age: green for younger stocks, yellow for 12 years, red for 15 years, and blue for the rarest aged stocks. The series was dormant for decades before Green Spot was relaunched in 2013, followed by Yellow Spot. The Malaga wine cask component distinguishes Yellow Spot — sweet, raisin-forward Malaga wine adds the distinctive coffee, creme brûlée, and dried fruit character that defines its profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honey sweetness, pot still spices, toasted oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coffee, creamy milk chocolate, creme brûlée, red apple, pot still spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warming, toasted oak and spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midleton Distillery, County Cork, Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e American bourbon, Malaga wine casks, Spanish sherry butts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/midleton\"\u003eMidleton at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e or explore our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/irish-whiskey\"\u003eIrish whiskey collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Spot Whiskeys tradition?\u003c\/strong\u003e Mitchell \u0026amp; Son of Dublin used colored spots on maturing casks to indicate age — a 19th-century merchant marking system.
