Gold Spot The Generations Edition

Gold Spot The Generations Edition is a remarkable addition to the esteemed Spot Whiskey family, celebrating the legacy and craftsmanship of the Mitchell family—one of Ireland's premier wine families and the guardians of Spot Whiskey for seven generations. This special release is a 13-year-old single pot still Irish whiskey that exemplifies the harmony between heritage and innovation, transcending traditional whiskey-making boundaries.

This extraordinary expression continues Gold Spot's tradition of utilizing a variety of cask types to mature their whiskey, but with a unique twist. The whiskey is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, which are staples in the Spot Whiskey maturation process, providing a solid foundation of rich flavors and aromas. What sets The Generations Edition apart is its additional maturation in Valpolicella Recioto Italian wine casks for 16 months. Valpolicella Recioto is a rare and luxurious sweet red wine from Italy's Veneto region, known for its intense flavors of dark fruits and berries.

The influence of the Valpolicella Recioto casks elevates the whiskey's subtle spice notes, infusing it with layers of dark fruits, berry compote, and a softly textured sweetness. This results in a complex flavor profile where the traditional characteristics of Irish whiskey meet the rich, fruity nuances of Italian wine. On the palate, expect a symphony of flavors—sweet vanilla and toasted oak from the ex-bourbon casks, dried fruits and nutty undertones from the ex-sherry casks, and a lush, fruity sweetness with hints of dark cherries and plum from the Valpolicella Recioto casks. The finish is long and satisfying, with a delicate touch of oak and sweet wine lingering on the tongue.

Gold Spot The Generations Edition is more than just a whiskey; it's a celebration of the Mitchell family's exceptional story and their dedication to the art of whiskey maturation. By marrying the traditions of Irish whiskey with the innovative use of Italian wine casks, this release stands as a testament to their commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

In line with their commitment to sustainable practices, please note that Gold Spot The Generations Edition does not include outer packaging. This decision reflects a dedication to environmental responsibility without compromising the quality and integrity of the whiskey inside.

TASTING NOTES

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, while the sweetness adds further intricate flavours, balancing this wonderfully intriguing whiskey.

Finish
Lingering finish which sees the oak slowly fading, allowing the sweet wine and pot still spices to have the last word.
