Yellow Spot 12yr Single Pot Still Whiskey 750ml

Yellow Spot 12 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey draws its structural complexity from a sequenced three-cask maturation program at Ireland’s Midleton Distillery. Rather than relying heavily on prolonged aging or aggressive wood charring, this bottling builds depth through successive exposure to American oak bourbon casks, Spanish sherry casks, and rare Spanish Malaga wine casks. Bottled at 46 percent ABV in a standard 750 milliliter bottle, the spirit maintains sufficient concentration to stand up to neat consumption while remaining structured enough for targeted dilution.

The nose launches with fresh peach, apricot, and honeyed vanilla before yielding to baked spice on the palate. Cracked black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove dominate the mid-section, anchored by a dense, velvety mouthfeel driven by the Malaga wood. Sweet raisin and bright stone fruit characters weave through the spice profile, closing with a clean finish marked by subtle earthiness and creamy milk chocolate undertones.

For optimal presentation, pour straight into a tulip glass to map the full aromatic sequence, or introduce a precise drop of tap water to coax out volatile compounds and let the heavier Malaga sugar profiles harmonize with the peppery backbone. This 92-proof expression functions reliably as a standalone evening pour or as a structured reference point when comparing other Irish pot still releases.
