Blue Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Review

Blue Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Review

Mitchell & Son’s Highly anticipated Blue Spot Irish Whiskey has been reimagined at cask strength

The story of the legendary Spot Irish whiskey range began in the early 1900s when celebrated wine and spirits merchants, Mitchell & Son, began maturing whiskey from the local Jameson Distillery in Bow Street in their underground cellars in Dublin City Centre. Blue Spot takes its name from the blue daubs or ‘spots’ of paint that the Mitchells used to mark the barrels to signify that the whiskey in those casks were to be matured for a minimum of seven years.

An Dúlamán Irish Maritime Gin Review

The Sliabh Liag Distillery Produces a Magnificent Irish Gin Using Five Locally Harvested Seaweeds

Dúlamán Irish Gin from the Sliabh Liag Distillery is probably my favorite Gin ever made!!!

It is the very essence of Donegal and uniquely captures the drama, flavour and magic of the sea. The bottle is etched with the maritime heritage of Donegal and the Armada wrecks off the coast.
