Blue Spot 7 Year Old Cask Strength Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is a celebrated revival of the historic “Spot” range, originally created by Mitchell & Son, Dublin wine merchants, in the late 1800s. Produced at Midleton Distillery, Blue Spot reintroduces the once-lost expression of the Spot family, bottled at cask strength and non-chill filtered, staying true to traditional Irish whiskey character.
Crafted from a mash bill of malted and unmalted barley, this single pot still whiskey is matured for a minimum of 7 years in a combination of bourbon barrels, sherry butts, and Madeira casks. This triple cask influence imparts exceptional complexity, balancing rich fruit with spice and oak depth.
In the glass, Blue Spot shows a vibrant golden hue. The nose opens with aromas of orchard fruits, ripe peach, and citrus, layered with vanilla, toasted oak, and hints of baking spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and bold, with flavors of sweet apricot, red berries, honey, and chocolate balanced by pepper, clove, and oak tannins. The cask strength bottling gives it a powerful presence, while water unlocks additional layers of fruit and spice. The finish is long, warming, and complex, leaving a lingering balance of sweetness and spice.
Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open its full spectrum, Blue Spot 7 Year Old is a must-try for fans of Irish whiskey seeking both tradition and intensity. It pairs beautifully with rich foods such as roasted lamb, spiced desserts, or strong cheeses, making it a versatile whiskey for both sipping and pairing.
