Green Spot Whiskey, bottled by Mitchell & Son circa 1960s.
John Jameson & Sons, Bow Street, 10 Year-Old Pot Still Whiskey, 75° Proof. Mid-shoulder. Extremely rare.
Provenance:
This whiskey was sold by Jameson’s to wine merchants Mitchell & Son, who bottled it under their own label.
In the early part of the 20th century it was part of a range of whiskeys under their ‘Spot’ brand name. This
name originated from their practice of marking casks of different ages with a daub or spot of coloured paint.
There was a Blue Spot, Red Spot and Yellow Spot, but Green Spot emerged as their most popular whiskey and
is one of the few ‘whiskey bonder brands’ to survive to modern day.
Estimate €2500-€3500 (£2170-£3030)
