Gold Spot 13 Year Old Generations Edition Irish Whiskey is a distinguished, limited-edition release from the renowned Spot Whiskey family. Bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, this whiskey delivers a smooth, full-bodied experience that retains all of its natural flavors and textures. Aged for 13 years, it combines the Spots’ classic ex-bourbon and ex-sherry cask aging with a unique 17-month finish in Valpolicella Classica Italian wine casks from Secondo Marco winery, adding a layer of rich, dark fruit notes and a softly textured sweetness to its profile.
The Spot Whiskey legacy dates back to the early 1900s, when barrels were marked with spots of paint to denote their aging potential. Gold Spot celebrates this colorful history, bringing together tradition and innovation in a single pot still Irish whiskey that is as rich in story as it is in flavor.
