Gold Spot 13 Year Old “Generations Edition” Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Crafted in celebration of over 135 years of whiskey-making heritage, Gold Spot 13 Year Old “Generations Edition” is a tribute to the legacy of Mitchell & Son and their enduring partnership with Midleton Distillery.
This limited-edition single pot still whiskey exemplifies the artistry of Irish craftsmanship - matured for 13 years in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, then elegantly finished in Valpolicella Italian wine casks to create an exquisite balance of richness, spice, and fruit.
On the nose, Gold Spot reveals notes of ripe red berries, orchard fruit, and sweet oak, complemented by hints of vanilla and honey. The palate is rich and full-bodied, delivering flavours of berry compote, malt, and warm spice layered with subtle wine sweetness and soft tannins. The finish is long and refined, leaving lingering impressions of fruit, oak, and creamy malt - a testament to both cask mastery and time.
Produced at Midleton Distillery in County Cork, this exceptional release continues the legacy of the Spot Whiskey family - where coloured “spots” once marked the age and style of each cask. The Gold Spot “Generations Edition” stands as a modern classic: a whiskey that unites Irish tradition with European elegance, celebrating the generations of dedication, innovation, and spirit that define the Mitchell family’s enduring mark on Irish whiskey.

NVGold Spot 13 Year Old “Generations Edition” celebrates over 135 years of whiskey-making heritage from Mitchell & Son, Dublin’s historic wine and spirit merchant. This limited-edition release honours the family’s long-standing tradition of craftsmanship and their partnership with Midleton Distillery, showcasing a perfect marriage of time, cask influence, and innovation.
Matured for 13 years in a selection of bourbon and sherry casks, then finished in Valpolicella Italian wine casks from the Secondo Marco winery, Gold Spot offers an exquisite balance of fruit, spice, and sweetness. The result is a whiskey of exceptional depth — rich in character, layered with notes of red berries, oak spice, and honeyed malt, complemented by delicate tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. Bottled at 46% ABV, it captures the complexity of age with the vibrancy of modern craftsmanship.
Produced at the renowned Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Gold Spot continues the legacy of the Spot Whiskey range, first created in the late 1800s by the Mitchell family. The Spots were born from Mitchell & Son’s tradition of maturing single pot still whiskey in wine casks, marking each cask with a coloured spot to indicate its age — blue for youthful vibrancy, green for balance, yellow for maturity, and red for depth and longevity.
The Gold Spot Generations Edition marks a new chapter in this heritage, symbolising both continuity and innovation. The use of Italian Valpolicella wine casks introduces a refined European influence, adding layers of fruit, spice, and warmth while preserving the signature pot still creaminess of Midleton’s spirit. This limited-edition release celebrates the enduring legacy of Irish whiskey bonding and the generations of craftsmanship that keep the Spot name shining bright.
