2020 24 Days of Whisk(e)y - Day 22

Day 22 of 24 Days of Whisk(e)y, tonight I had Yellow Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, Aged 12 Years, 46% ABV, coming from Mitchell & Son. This goes for about $100 - so that's getting up there for an Irish Whiskey - I've had this before, but was looking forward to having it again.

On the nose I find vanilla, peach, and some cherry. I taste sweet fruit, some oak, and nuts. The finish is sweet, fruity, touch of oak that lingers. With water I find more oak in the taste and some honey. The nose is about the same for me - I probably prefer this neat.

Overall this compares well with another Irish Whiskey I really like, Redbreast 15. I would probably lean towards the Redbreast - but it's very close, and the two are different enough both can find a spot on the shelf. Rated 4.0 / 5.0
