Yellow Spot is a single pot still 12 Year Old Irish whiskey matured for 12 years in three cask types: bourbon, sherry, and Malaga wine. This unique aging process creates a complex and flavorful whiskey with notes of sweetness, spice, and fruit.

Description

Nose

The initial aroma is floral and inviting, with hints of freshly cut straw and grassy fields. As you take a deeper sniff, sweeter notes emerge, reminiscent of honey, toffee, and a touch of cinnamon roll. Some tasters also detect hints of ripe stone fruit like peaches and apricots, along with a subtle citrus note like lemon zest.

Palate

The first sip delivers a burst of sweetness, almost like a shot of straight honey. This sweetness is balanced by a creamy texture and flavors of freshly brewed coffee, milk chocolate, and the rich caramelized sugar of crème brûlée. Hints of toasted oak from the barrel aging peek through, adding depth and complexity. Some reviewers also pick up on subtle spice notes like nutmeg and clove.

Finish

The finish is long and warming, lingering on the tongue with a continuation of the honeyed sweetness. Hints of milk chocolate and dry barley emerge, alongside a touch of dried fruit like raisins or figs. The overall impression is one of elegance and balance, with all the flavors working together seamlessly.
