Gold Spot 13Yr Generations Edition Irish Whiskey 700ml

A celebration of two generational wine families coming together to bring a splash of colour to the world of whiskey. The latest addition to the Gold Spot’s series is a thirteen-year aged whiskey, once again championing the use of wine casks in whiskey, transcending tradition, and demonstrating the harmonisation of heritage and innovation.

The extraordinary expression marries Gold Spot’s established use of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, with a unique maturation in Valpolicella Classica Italian wine casks for 17 months. This final maturation elevates Gold Spot’s subtle spice notes, with the red wine adding layers of dark fruits, berry compote and creating a softly textured sweetness, finishing with a touch of oak and sweet wine. This special whiskey, the perfect balance between Irish whiskey and Italian wine, celebrates the exceptional story of seven generations of the Mitchell family, guardians of Spot Whiskey and one of Ireland’s premier wine families.

In further celebration of generational winemaking, this expression is matured in Italian wine casks from Valpolicella Classica, selected from the Secondo Marco winery, a company founded by Marco Speri whose passion stems from the oenological heritage of his family, who have worked the soils of Valpolicella for seven generations to produce world-class wines. Secondo Marco’s casks, sourced from Fumane in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica winemaking region, infuse this Gold Spot expression with distinctive floral, spicy and wine-driven notes. A 17-month maturation period creates layers of complexity that enhance Gold Spot’s more traditional, fruit-forward flavour profile. With both families boasting generations of expertise, Gold Spot The Generations Edition pays tribute to a long line of dedication to both wine and whiskey across two families and pays homage to their legacy.
