Gold Spot 13 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
92
Whisky Advocate
Review Date: 10/2024The second release in the series, matured in sherry casks and finished 16 months in Recioto della Valpolicella casks. This is deliciously oily on the nose with cooked dark fruit, red grape, apple, peppercorn, cinnamon bark, and dusty oak. Thick and full-bodied with red apple, citrus peel, and pot still spices, supported by toasted oak leading to brown sugar, roasted nuts, and a superb pot still oiliness on the palate. The finish has sweet dried apple, oak, and lingering spices. -JM

Notes
This extraordinary expression from the fabulous Mitchell Family cellars ultilizes the classic base of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks before a unique marrying period in Valpolicella Riciotto Italian wine casks for 16 months. This final maturation enhances complex spices adding layers of dark fruits, stewed fruit and a rich textural sweetness. This special whiskey celebrates the exceptional story of seven generations of the Mitchell family, guardians of Spot Whiskey and one of Ireland’s premier wine families.
