- Description
- Gold Spot's 13-year-old single pot still whiskey represents a marriage of bourbon and sherry-matured stocks, further refined in Recioto della Valpolicella wine casks for 16 months before bottling. The wine cask finishing adds layers of sweet red fruit and jammy berry character atop the pot still's characteristic spice and creamy texture. The result is smooth and vinous, with rich oak integration throughout. This is an excellent choice for those who appreciate how wine cask finishes enhance Irish whiskey's natural fruit and body.
