Blue Spot 7 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is a bold revival of a legendary name.
Back from the mists of time, the Blue Spot 7 Year Old marks the triumphant return of a once-lost Irish whiskey legend. Revived by the Mitchell & Son family — custodians of the iconic Spot Whiskeys, this cask-strength, non-chill filtered whiskey delivers uncompromising flavour, bold character, and the rich complexity that defines traditional Single Pot Still Irish whiskey.
Matured in a vibrant mix of bourbon, sherry, and Madeira casks, Blue Spot is a fiery, youthful spirit with the soul of an old classic.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Bright golden amber with copper glints. In the glass, Blue Spot displays oily, deliberate legs that reflect its cask strength and youthful intensity.
- Nose: Explosively aromatic with green apples, crisp pear, and fresh citrus zest leaping from the glass. Underneath, waves of vanilla pod, spiced honey, and toasted almonds unfold alongside subtle hints of clove, cinnamon, and dried apricot. The Madeira influence brings a touch of grape must and tropical fruit warmth.
- Palate: Vibrant, full-bodied, and complex. Sweet orchard fruit mingles with peppery spice, ginger snap, and dark berries. The Madeira casks shine with bursts of fig, plum, and candied orange peel, while bourbon wood adds caramel, vanilla, and a creamy, mouth-coating texture. There’s a bold pot still spice that zips across the palate and energizes every sip.
- Finish: Long, warming, and lively. A final flourish of oak spice, fruit cake, and nutty richness gives way to a gentle fade of cocoa, dried fruit, and warming alcohol. Cask strength, yet remarkably balanced.
Blue Spot 7 Year Old Single Pot Still is a rare gem that bridges Irish whiskey heritage with bold contemporary character. It's unapologetically robust, yet nuanced - a bottle made for those who crave authenticity, complexity, and a story in every sip.
Whether you're expanding your collection or discovering cask strength Irish whiskey for the first time, Blue Spot is a must-experience dram.
