Midleton Distillery – Blue Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey 750ml

Midleton Distillery – Blue Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Blue Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is a highly anticipated and revered return of a classic, representing the full-bodied and robust character of its lineage. Bottled at a higher proof and non-chill filtered, this 7-year-old single pot still whiskey is matured in a meticulous combination of Bourbon, Sherry, and uniquely, Madeira wine casks. This distinctive triple-cask maturation, along with its higher strength, imbues Blue Spot with a profound depth of flavor, marrying the signature pot still spice with rich fruit, nutty notes, and a delightful vinous influence.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Rich and aromatic with notes of dark fruit (raisins, figs), toasted nuts, baking spices (cinnamon, clove), and a distinctive sweet, slightly exotic character from the Madeira. Underlying pot still spice is present.
• Flavor: Full-bodied and complex, with an initial burst of dark berries and dried fruit, followed by notes of rich vanilla, creamy fudge, and a pronounced pot still spice (ginger, black pepper). The Madeira cask adds layers of candied fruit and a subtle nuttiness.
• Mouthfeel: Velvety smooth and viscous, coating the palate with a substantial and warming presence.
• Finish: Long, warming, and evolving, with lingering notes of sweet fruit, dark chocolate, and a balanced, elegant spice that fades slowly.
