Green Spot

Irish: Redbreast 12 or Green Spot. Both have the typical creamy malty character, but Redbreast is more tropical fruity and Green Spot is more fresh green apple.

Green Spot is also a good choice, €55~€65. Also triple distilled with a sweet, creamy malt, but has a green apple fruity note instead.

They are both excellent, and I doubt you could tell much of a difference in this cocktail with the mezcal.

You could go with Bruichladdich maybe or Green Spot if you’d like an Irish whiskey option.

But Powers Johns Lane, Green Spot, and Redbreast 12 are all terrific entry points to the category too.

I am also thinking US prices, so Green Spot or Yellow Spot might be in the range on the Irish end.

Green spot (most recent, lovely whiskey)

My entrance to the whisky universe was Green Spot from Ireland

My preference is the Green Spot. So good for the price.

My personal taste opinion is that the Green Spot goes a bit more tropical in fruit and the Redbreast is more like a spiced fruit.
