Gold Spot Irish Whiskey 13 Years is a limited-release single pot still whiskey. Aged 13 years in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, it underwent a 17-month finish in Valpolicella Classica Italian wine casks from Secondo Marco winery.
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.
Sipping late in the glass is the most enjoyable, as little flashes of cheesecake and your traditional Irish whiskey sugar cookie note can be found. My last sip finishes with little fanfare and no forlorn face for its departure.
