Gold Spot Generations Edition Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
The Gold Spot Generations Edition is the latest masterpiece in the celebrated Spot Whiskey series, offering a stunning blend of heritage and innovation. Aged for an impressive 13 years, this single pot still Irish whiskey continues to push the boundaries of tradition, showcasing the transformative role of wine casks in whiskey maturation.
What sets this edition apart is its final 16-month maturation in rare Valpolicella Riccioto Italian wine casks, sourced from the Secondo Marco winery in Italy. This unique finishing process enriches the whiskey's profile, complementing its signature ex-bourbon and ex-sherry cask influences. The result is a vibrant harmony of flavors: layers of dark fruits, berry compote, and softly textured sweetness intertwine with hints of oak and a whisper of sweet wine, elevating Gold Spot’s subtle spice notes.
This extraordinary expression is more than a whiskey; it’s a celebration of seven generations of the Mitchell family, guardians of the Spot Whiskey legacy and one of Ireland's premier wine families. By integrating Italian winemaking excellence into its Irish whiskey roots, the Gold Spot Generations Edition creates the perfect union of two storied traditions.
In keeping with its commitment to sustainability, this whiskey is presented without outer packaging—underscoring that exceptional quality needs no embellishment.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Red apples and dark fleshy fruits at first, accompanied by fragrant blossom notes with sweet and woody undertones. Spices of clove and light dustings of nutmeg along with subtle hints of almond slowly come to the fore, complementing the fruits.
Taste: Luscious and sweet with generous servings of red berry compote, toffee apple, and raisin. The wine-seasoned casks and oak continue to impart delicate tannins, working in tandem with the pot still spices and fruits. The sweetness adds further intricate flavors, balancing this wonderfully intriguing whiskey.
Finish: Lingering and elegant, with the oak slowly fading to allow the sweet wine and pot still spices to leave the final, lasting impression.
