Gold Spot 13 Year Old Generations Edition
70cl
/
46% Vol
A special bottling between Irish whiskey and Italian wine that celebrates the story of seven generations of the Mitchel family and Secondo Marco winery. This extraordinary expression marries Gold Spot’s established use of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, with a unique maturation in Valpolicella Classica Italian wine casks for 17 months. This final maturation elevates Gold Spot’s subtle spice notes, with the red wine adding layers of dark fruits, berry compote and creating a softly textured sweetness, finishing with a touch of oak and sweet wine.

No, though the relationship is often confused. Midleton Distillery, located in Midleton, County Cork, is owned and operated by Irish Distillers, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard. Jameson is one of the brands produced at Midleton Distillery, not the other way around. Midleton also produces Powers, Redbreast, Green Spot, Yellow Spot, Paddy, Tullamore DEW under licence, and the prestige Midleton Very Rare range. Jameson is the most commercially significant brand in the portfolio but does not own or operate the distillery.
Midleton Distillery, County Cork, is the most prolific whiskey production facility in Ireland, producing Jameson, Powers, Redbreast, Green Spot, Yellow Spot, Red Spot, Blue Spot, Midleton Very Rare, Barry Crockett Legacy, Method and Madness, and Spot Whiskeys, among others. The distillery uses both pot stills and column stills and is capable of producing single malt, single grain, and single pot still whiskeys, making it uniquely versatile within the global whiskey industry.

It depends entirely on your purpose. If the bottle is in pristine condition with original packaging, maintaining it sealed preserves maximum investment value, as sealed bottles consistently command significantly higher auction prices than opened bottles. If you acquired it to drink, opening it and sharing it in the right company is exactly what it was made for. The 2015 and later vintages in particular represent excellent drinking whiskeys that reward consumption rather than indefinite storage.
Midleton Very Rare is released annually, typically in the autumn, between September and November each year. The exact release date varies and is announced by Irish Distillers. Celtic Whiskey Shop typically receives allocation of each annual release on launch. To be notified of upcoming Midleton Very Rare releases and other limited Irish whiskey allocations, we recommend joining our mailing list or contacting us directly to register your interest in advance of each release.
