The whiskey remarks on this site get more comments than any other. So here’s another Irish whiskey of note – Green Spot.
It’s a whiskey I had seen but never tasted until one night in Dublin recently when we asked for our usual Redbreast as a ‘deoch a dorais’. The owner said he was clean out but recommended the Green Spot as a superior drink. We were surprised at this as we held Redbreast to be the king of the Irish.
Well, we tasted it. And suffice to say there might just be a new King in town.
Green Spot is actually produced in the same place as Redbreast – the Jameson distillery in Midleton, Co Cork. It’s a blend of seven and eight year old, and is produced exclusively in Cork for Mitchell and Sons Wine Merchants in Dublin.
Try it if you can find it. It actually does hit the Spot.
