Single Pot Still — A Uniquely Irish Style

Green Spot is one of the last surviving expressions of the Single Pot Still style — a method unique to Ireland that combines both malted and unmalted barley in traditional copper pot stills. The result is a whiskey of remarkable creaminess, spice, and complexity that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.

What makes this bottle particularly special is its heritage. Green Spot has been produced exclusively for the Mitchell family of Dublin since 1887 — one of the longest-running whiskey bonding relationships in Irish history. It is not a distillery brand; it is a family legacy bottled in glass.

Aged between 7 and 10 years across a combination of new bourbon, refill bourbon, and sherry casks, Green Spot delivers a layered maturation profile that balances fresh orchard fruit with warm spice and toasted oak — earning it a coveted 94-point rating from Jim Murray's Whisky Bible.

Midleton Distillery sits at the heart of Irish whiskey's most storied tradition. Located in County Cork, Ireland, and operated by Irish Distillers — a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard — Midleton is one of the most technically sophisticated and historically significant distilleries in the world.

Founded in 1825 and rebuilt on a grand scale in 1975, the modern Midleton complex is the home of some of Ireland's most celebrated whiskey brands, including Jameson, Redbreast, Powers, and the iconic Spot Whiskey range. What sets Midleton apart is its mastery of the Single Pot Still style — a uniquely Irish method of distilling a mash of both malted and unmalted barley in traditional copper pot stills, producing a whiskey of remarkable creaminess, spice, and complexity. The distillery's team of master distillers and blenders work with an extraordinary range of cask types and maturation conditions, allowing each expression to develop its own distinct character.

For Green Spot, Midleton's craft is expressed at its most individual: single cask releases like this one represent the purest window into what the distillery's spirit can become when given time, the right wood, and the hands of Ireland's finest whiskey makers.

Green Spot is for the whiskey drinker who values craft, history, and authenticity over trend. It is an ideal choice for:

• Irish whiskey enthusiasts exploring beyond Jameson and Bushmills
• Collectors and connoisseurs seeking heritage expressions with documented provenance
• Bourbon drinkers curious about pot still whiskey's creamy, spiced character
• Gift buyers looking for a premium, award-winning bottle with a compelling story
• Anyone who appreciates a whiskey that drinks beautifully neat or with a single drop of water

Neat — Pour 30–45ml into a tulip-shaped whiskey glass and allow it to breathe for 2–3 minutes. The nose opens beautifully, revealing fresh oils, orchard fruit, and warm spice.

With a Drop of Water — A few drops of still water at room temperature will open up the palate further, softening the spice and amplifying the creamy green apple and vanilla notes.

On the Rocks — A single large ice cube works well in warmer months, chilling the whiskey without diluting its character too quickly.

In a Cocktail — Green Spot's spiced, fruity profile makes it an excellent base for an Irish Whiskey Sour or a classic Hot Toddy. Its complexity holds up beautifully against citrus and honey.

At Bourbon Brothers Australia, we stock Green Spot because it represents everything we believe great whiskey should be — honest, storied, and exceptional in the glass.

In a market flooded with new releases and limited editions, Green Spot is a quiet constant. It has been made the same way, for the same family, for over 130 years. That kind of continuity is rare in the spirits world, and it shows in every sip.

We also stock it because our customers trust us to find bottles that over-deliver on quality relative to price. At this price point, Green Spot competes with expressions that cost significantly more — and regularly wins. The Jim Murray 94-point rating and multiple Irish Whisky Masters Gold medals are not marketing; they are the verdict of the industry's most respected palates.
