Gold Spot 13 Year Generations Edition Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Gold Spot 13 Year Generations Edition Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is a limited release from the renowned Spot Whiskey family, celebrating the heritage of the Mitchell family, guardians of Spot Whiskey for seven generations, and their long-standing connection to the wine world. This edition highlights the innovative use of wine casks in Irish whiskey maturation.

Key Features:

• Irish Origin: Produced in Ireland.   
• Single Pot Still: Made from a mash bill of malted and unmalted barley, distilled in copper pot stills.   
• Age Statement: Aged for 13 years.   
• Triple Cask Maturation: Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels, ex-sherry casks, and uniquely, finished for 16-17 months in Recioto della Valpolicella Italian wine casks sourced from the Secondo Marco winery in Italy. 
• Limited Edition: A special release that celebrates the Mitchell family's generations in the whiskey and wine business.   
• ABV: Bottled at 46% ABV.   
• Non-Chill Filtered: While not explicitly stated, the premium nature of Spot Whiskeys often implies non-chill filtration.

Tasting Notes (based on various sources):

• Nose: Deliciously oily with cooked dark fruit, red grape, and apple at the forefront. Fragrant blossom notes emerge with sweet and woody undertones, alongside peppercorn, cinnamon bark, and dusty oak. Subtle hints of almond and spices like clove and nutmeg develop over time.   
• Palate: Thick and full-bodied with luscious and sweet servings of red berry compote, toffee apple, and raisin. The wine-seasoned casks and toasted oak impart delicate tannins, working in tandem with the pot still spices and fruits. A superb pot still oiliness supports the palate, leading to brown sugar and roasted nuts.   
• Finish: Lingering finish where the oak slowly fades, allowing the sweet wine and pot still spices to have the last word. Sweet dried apple and spice notes persist.   

Overall Impression:

The Gold Spot 13 Year Generations Edition is a sophisticated and intriguing single pot still Irish whiskey that beautifully marries the traditional Spot character with the unique influence of Italian Recioto della Valpolicella wine casks. This finishing period elevates the whiskey's subtle spice notes and adds layers of dark fruits and a softly textured sweetness. It's a testament to the harmonious blend of Irish whiskey heritage and innovative cask finishes, making it a sought-after expression for enthusiasts.
