Mitchell & Son Blue Spot 7 Year Old Cask Strength Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey (75cl)

Blue Spot is a single pot still Irish whiskey, matured for at least 7 years and bottled at cask strength, in a 75cl bottle. The name comes from the Mitchell family's habit of marking maturing casks with a daub of coloured paint, blue for a 7 year old. It was matured in bourbon casks, sherry butts and Portuguese Madeira casks, and its return reunites the Spot family for the first time in over 56 years. The nose is light, with pineapple, kiwi, green banana and lime zest, then pot still spices, baked apple, hazelnut and toasted wood. The palate is smooth, with clove oil, cracked black pepper, vanilla and cinnamon. The finish balances exotic fruits and spices.
