Originally created exclusively for the Mitchell family, Green Spot whiskey has a rich history rooted in Dublin's heart. The Mitchell family began their business in 1805 as purveyors of fine wines and confectionery on 10 Grafton St. and are still active in the wine and spirits industry today, under the leadership of Jonathan Mitchell and his son Robert, four generations later.
In 1887, the Mitchell family expanded their business into whiskey bonding, sending empty wine, sherry, and port casks via horse and cart to the nearby Jameson Distillery. These casks were then filled with whiskey and returned to the Mitchell's cellar warehouse, where they matured under bond for many years until ready to be bottled and sold.
