Green Spot Single Pot Still
Pernod Ricard (Irish Distillers) — bonded for Mitchell & Son · Midleton Distillery, Cork, County Cork, Ireland
Green Spot is the whiskey equivalent of a hidden gem that everyone secretly knows about. The name comes from the colored spots Mitchell & Son dabbed on barrels to indicate age — green for youngest, yellow and red for older. What makes it special is the single pot still method: both malted and unmalted barley distilled together in copper pot stills, creating that signature creamy, spicy texture that defines great Irish whiskey. At this price, it punches well above its weight.

The Dublin Liberties Murder Lane 13 Year Old Irish Whiskey
The Dublin Liberties
Murder Lane 13 Year Old is a brooding, contemplative Irish single malt that trades the category's typical brightness for smoldering depth. The extended maturation has produced a whiskey of genuine complexity, with dark fruit and wood spice in beautiful balance. It's the kind of dram that asks you to sit quietly and simply feel its warmth — words can wait.
The Quiet Man Traditional Irish Whiskey Bourbon Cask Matured
The Quiet Man
The Quiet Man lives up to its name with a whiskey that values restraint over spectacle. It demonstrates how careful bourbon-cask maturation can produce something luminous in its clarity — an Irish blend that makes transparency feel like a deliberate art. An ideal daily pour that rewards attentive, unhurried sipping.
Keeper's Heart Irish + Bourbon Cask Strength
Keeper's Heart
Keeper's Heart Cask Strength is a fascinating study in how air and atmosphere shape whiskey — Irish pot still softness meets American bourbon boldness at full power, and the marriage breathes new character into both traditions. The higher proof rewards a splash of water, which opens up delicate floral and fruity notes hidden beneath the oak. A compelling conversation-starter that earns its place alongside more established names.
The Dubliner 6yr Cask Strength Double Barrel Irish Whiskey
The Dubliner
This cask-strength double-barrel expression punches well above its modest price point, delivering a richness and complexity that speaks to careful cask selection. The six years of maturation provide enough oak influence to give structure without overwhelming the grain character. A perfect fireside pour as the harvest season draws to its close.
