Green Spot is single pot still Irish whiskey — malted and unmalted barley, pot-still distilled at Midleton in County Cork for Mitchell & Son of Dublin. The core US bottle is 40% ABV / 80 proof. A 1.5-ounce pour is one NIAAA standard drink. It carries no age statement. Brand copy says the vatting uses 7- to 10-year casks. We will not invent a 2026 MSRP.
Irish whiskey must be distilled and matured in Ireland at least three years and bottled at ≥40% ABV. Yellow, Red, and Blue Spot are other Mitchell bottlings — different ages and proofs. Related: Jameson, Irish whiskey for beginners, Scotch vs Irish.

A 750 mL 40% bottle is about 17 standard drinks; a 1.75 L about 39.5. Four Green Spot pours are four drinks. NIAAA binge pattern is a health line, not a target. Single pot still is not blended Jameson. Pour math: whiskey drinks.
