Red Spot Single Cask 19 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey – a rare, limited edition with only 603 bottles available. Steeped in tradition, this remarkable release honors the Mitchell family’s original vision and marks a new milestone for the Red Spot range.
The presentation canister, adorned with intricate gilt filigree, reflects the rich history and craftsmanship of this exceptional whiskey. Initially matured in Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks for four years, it was then recasked into a 500-litre Marsala butt on December 10, 2008, to develop a rich, complex finish. Cask No. 217213, crafted from American white oak by Antonio Paez in Jerez and seasoned with Marsala Superiore made from Grillo and Catarratto grapes, delivers luscious aromas of honey, figs, and dates. The cask was emptied on March 7, 2024, and prepared for bottling at a robust cask strength of 58.5% ABV.
On the nose, it opens with rich, warming notes of stewed fruits, cinnamon, and a dusting of nutmeg, with earthy herbal nuances and tobacco leaf. The palate bursts with fresh apricot and cooked apple, accented by garden mint, crème brûlée, and honeycomb, culminating in a lingering finish of wine seasoning, spice, and gentle oak.

Taste
Fruits to the fore with fresh apricot and cooked apple along with delicate herbal undertones of freshly picked garden mint. Sweet notes of crème brûlée and honeycomb give balance to the delicate oak tannins and robust pot still spices.
Nose
Opens with rich and warming notes of freshly stewed fruits with cinnamon and light dustings of nutmeg, while earthy and herbal aromas, accompanied by tobacco leaf, add further depth and complexity. The pot still spices are complemented by the Marsala wine seasoned oak, creating vibrant notes of liquorice and cracked walnut.
Finish
Lasting finish which sees the influence of the wine seasoning and pot still spices linger for a time while the oak is the first to gently fade.

FAQs
Irish whiskey is most honestly assessed neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, where the full aromatic profile can develop. Adding a few drops of room temperature water to a pot still or single malt expression above 46% ABV opens the ester character and integrates the oak. Over a large ice sphere it becomes a more contemplative drink that evolves as the temperature rises. Avoid adding ice to aged or premium expressions: the cold contracts the spirit and suppresses the complexity you paid for.
Yes. Irish whiskey is distilled from a grain mash, typically malted barley with or without unmalted barley, grain, or corn, and the distillation process removes gluten proteins to below detectable levels. All major Irish whiskey producers including Irish Distillers, Midleton, Teeling, and Bushmills consider their products gluten free under current food safety standards. Individuals with clinically confirmed coeliac disease should consult their medical advisor before consuming any grain distilled spirit.
The most consistently excellent Irish whiskeys across price points are Redbreast 12 Year Old as the benchmark single pot still, Yellow Spot 12 Year Old for sherry cask complexity, Midleton Very Rare for aged prestige, and Teeling Single Grain as an underrated value option. For under €40, Powers Gold Label and Jameson 18 Year Old represent excellent value for their respective categories. The single pot still style using both malted and unmalted barley is Ireland's most distinctive and most rewarding contribution to world whiskey.
Irish whiskey is a legally defined spirit produced on the island of Ireland from a yeast fermented grain mash, distilled to under 94.8% ABV, and matured for a minimum of three years in wooden casks on the island of Ireland. The five recognised styles are single malt, single grain, single pot still, blended, and blended malt. Triple distillation, used by the majority of Irish producers, and the use of a proportion of unmalted barley in the single pot still style are the defining technical characteristics of the category.
