Yellow Spot 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey is a beautifully complex single pot still whiskey that pays homage to Ireland’s whiskey-making heritage. Aged for a full 12 years in a unique combination of American bourbon barrels, Spanish sherry butts, and rare Malaga wine casks, this expression delivers a rich, layered profile that sets it apart from typical Irish whiskies. Revived by the Mitchell & Son family, Yellow Spot is a rare gem that showcases the elegance of triple-distilled Irish whiskey at its finest. Available now at Whiskey Caviar.
