Description
Yellow Spot 12 Year Old 70cl, 46% is a single pot still Irish whiskey bottled at 46% ABV in a 70cl format. Your site describes it as the second addition to the Spot range and highlights its maturation in three types of cask: American bourbon casks, Spanish sherry butts, and Spanish Malaga casks for a sweeter flavour.
This triple-cask maturation gives Yellow Spot a richer and more layered character than a straightforward bourbon-and-sherry style alone, bringing together honeyed fruit, pot still spice, toasted oak, and a softly sweet wine-cask influence. Official producer notes describe it as sophisticated and complex, with the Malaga casks contributing an exotic sweetness that helps set it apart within the range.
