Irish Distillers Launches Gold Spot The Generations Edition
Irish Distillers has announced the launch of Gold Spot The Generations Edition, a limited release that pays homage to the Mitchell family’s seven generations and their collaboration with the Speri family of Secondo Marco winery in Valpolicella Classica.
Gold Spot The Generations Edition is a 13 year old, triple-distilled, single pot still Irish whiskey that’s been matured in ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks and finished in Valpolicella Classica Italian wine casks for 16 months. Gold Spot The Generations Edition is presented non-chill filtered and bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof).
Official tasting notes for Gold Spot The Generations Edition follow:
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, 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.
Gold Spot The Generations Edition is available now at spotwhiskey.com and in the USA, Ireland, UK, France, Travel Retail Ireland, and brand homes. Gold Spot The Generations Edition carries a suggested retail price of €150.
