The Green Spot brand was created by the Mitchell, a family of wine merchants who opened their business in Dublin in 1805. In 1887, they decided to start selling and aging Irish whiskey by sending their empty wine, sherry and port drums to the Bow Street distillery (Jameson) so that it filled them before storing them in their cellars for several years.
The name Green Spot was chosen because the Mitchells marked the matured barrels with a point of green paint. Over the years, other color brands were added, like Blue Spot, Red Spot and Yallow Spot, although Green Spot has always been the most famous. With the creation of an appellation dediée, Green Spot has become a Single Pot Still.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
