Yellow Spot 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey – Triple Cask, Richly Refined

Step into the world of rich, historic Irish whiskey with Yellow Spot 12 Year Old, a single pot still gem that’s been quietly aging to perfection. A shining star in the famed Spot Whiskey lineup, this expression offers a velvety texture and luxuriously complex flavor thanks to its maturation in three distinct cask types—American bourbon barrels, Spanish sherry butts, and Malaga wine casks.

A Legacy Distilled Through Generations

Where tradition meets innovation, Yellow Spot is born. Building on the legacy of Green Spot, which has long captured the hearts of Irish whiskey lovers, Yellow Spot revives a label once lost to time. Now back and better than ever, it carries a story that began in 1805 with Mitchell & Son Wine Merchants—who famously marked casks with colored paint to indicate age. Yellow Spot signified a 12-year maturation, and that mark still represents refined character and unparalleled craftsmanship today.

Aging in Harmony: The Power of Three

What makes Yellow Spot truly stand apart is its unique triple cask aging process. Matured for 12 years in:

• Ex-bourbon barrels for sweet vanilla and warm oak
• Oloroso sherry butts adding dried fruit richness
• Malaga wine casks that introduce a luscious, honeyed sweetness rarely seen in Irish whiskey

Together, these casks create a symphony of flavor that unfolds layer after layer with each sip.
