In 2012, Yellow Spot 12 Year Old was reintroduced to the range following a fifty year absence after the discovery of an original bottle at a Dublin museum.
Aged in American bourbon casks, Spanish Sherry casks and Spanish Malaga casks
The Malaga cask brings an exotic sweet note to the whiskey
Only extremely limited quantities of Yellow Spot have been bottled making it a whiskey to seek out and savour as a true rarity
While Green Spot is often described as tasting like green apples, Yellow Spot is more in character with juicy red apples. Sophisticated and complex in character
Nose
Sweet honey & peaches from the Malaga casks.
Mown hay & cracked black pepper.
Nutmeg, clove oil & green tea.
Taste
Honey sweetness with pot still spices. Flavours of fresh toffee, creamy milk chocolate & Crème Brûlée.
Notes of red apples & toasted oak.
Its finish is sophisticated & complex with a sweetness throughout, followed by a mix of red grape & dry barley upon exit..
