About Gold Spot
Gold Spot is a limited-edition single pot still Irish whiskey produced at Midleton Distillery for Mitchell & Son, the Dublin wine and spirits merchant behind the Spot Whiskey family. It was first released in 2022 to mark 135 years since the Mitchell family entered whiskey bonding, continuing the colour-coded cask marking system that also gave Green Spot, Yellow Spot, Red Spot and Blue Spot their names.
The original Gold Spot release was matured for a minimum of 9 years in bourbon barrels, sherry butts, Bordeaux wine casks and port pipes, then bottled non-chill filtered at 51.4% ABV. Gold Spot The Generations Edition followed as a 13 year old release, combining bourbon and sherry cask maturation with a 16-month finish in Valpolicella Riciotto Italian wine casks.
