Gold Spot - The Generations Edition 13 Années

This 13-year-old Yellow Spot Whiskey comes from The Generations Edition and (like the other Spot Whiskeys) comes from the Midleton distillery in Ireland. The bottling honours the cultural heritage and longstanding work of the Mitchell family, who began filling empty wine and fortified wine casks at the local Jameson distillery in the 18th century. The filled barrels were then stored in the underground cellars and marked with coloured dots. The coloured dots were there to document the age of the whisky resting in them. This bottling also pays homage to the Secondo Marco winery, from which the wine casks used for the finish originate. Marco Speri founded the company, which has been synonymous with first-class wine creations from the Valpolicella region for seven generations. The Gold Spot was therefore matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry barrels before being aged for 16 months in Italian Valpolicella Classica wine barrels.
