Blue Spot is a Seven Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, reintroduced after its disappearance from shelves in the 1960s. This 2022 release is matured in a combination of bourbon casks, sherry butts, and Portuguese Madeira casks, resulting in a whiskey with a rich and complex flavor profile. Bottled at cask strength at an ABV of 58.9%, this limited release showcases the unique qualities of the whiskey and the casks it was matured in. The Midleton Distillery, established in 1975, has managed to reproduce the incredibly successful 2021 edition of Blue Spot with this 2022 release.
The nose is filled with aromas of pineapple, kiwi, green banana, baked apples, lively spices, hazelnuts, and toasted oak. The palate boasts notes of dried fruit, clove oil, cracked black pepper, vanilla, cinnamon, and toasted nuts, which linger in the finish. Tropical fruits such as mango, pineapple, papaya, and guava add a delightful counterpoint, while tart chocolate, hazelnuts, and coffee beans add depth. The medium-length finish is creamy and leaves a lasting impression of tropical fruits, spices, marzipan bread, nougat, milk coffee, and toffee.
This whiskey is part of a set that includes Gold Spot, a special edition release celebrating the 135th anniversary of the family whiskey bonding tradition. Gold Spot is matured for 9 years in a unique proportion of bourbon barrels, sherry butts, Bordeaux wine casks, and port pipes. The blend consists of whiskeys ranging in age from 9 to 17 years, making it a truly exceptional release.
Blue Spot is a limited release, and each bottle is a testament to the craftsmanship and tradition of Irish whiskey making. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, Blue Spot is sure to delight whiskey enthusiasts and collectors alike.
