After nearly 60 years, the Blue Spot has triumphantly returned to complete the legendary Spot Whiskey range from Ireland’s Midleton Distillery. Once again bearing its iconic blue mark, this 7 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is bottled at cask strength and matured in a unique combination of bourbon barrels, sherry butts, and Portuguese Madeira casks. The result is a powerful yet nuanced whiskey — bold, vibrant, and unmistakably Spot.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Rich golden hue with brilliant clarity.
Nose: Lush aromas of orchard fruits — green apple, pear, and apricot — layered with tropical hints of pineapple and mango. Undertones of marzipan, vanilla, nutmeg, and toasted oak enrich the bouquet.
Palate: Full-bodied and robust with bright fruit notes, balanced by layers of spice, clove, cinnamon, and subtle tannins from the Madeira cask influence. The bourbon and sherry casks bring vanilla sweetness and dried fruits, adding further complexity.
Finish: Long, warm, and satisfying with lingering notes of spice, oak, and candied citrus peel.
Serving Suggestions: Best enjoyed neat to appreciate its full cask strength character or with a splash of water to reveal additional layers of fruit and spice. A remarkable choice for seasoned whiskey drinkers and an essential pour for fans of the Spot range.
