Produced at the Midleton distillery near Cork, Single Pot Still Green Spot (7 yo), Yellow Spot (12 yo) and Red Spot (15 yo) are distilled three times in pot stills from malted and unmalted barley.
They were created in 1887 by the Mitchells, a family of merchants who bought from the Bow Street distillery in Dublin, filling their own casks with wine, sherry, Madeira and Malaga.
Each barrel was marked according to the desired maturation period by a dot of colored paint, giving a name to each expression of this Single Pot Still.
