I love the Gold 9 year. Really wish it was a core release (at a fair price). I converted or at least made them Irish fans of dozens of friends who are bourbon drinkers by having them try Gold Spot 9 yr. I enjoy the Gold Spot 13 yr but wish it cost less, had a longer finish and a higher abv. I bought 2 Gold 13 and will enjoy them but not replace them while if I see a Gold Spot 9 yr I will buy it. I wish they had made a new Spot range for their "experimental or limited releases" instead of using the Gold Spot label.
What's your favourite Spot Whiskey?
Worthy exploration of fine whiskeys
Cheers!
I am so glad you are doing this, to compare and see if the new one is worth the hunt. cheers
Exactly! Always looking to help folks find the best whiskey for them!
Like the 9, like the 13 slightly more. My fav is the 15year.
Red Spot is lovely, and very consistent!
Nine-year-old gold spot is no longer available to buy. It is incensing nicely in price hence I bought 10 bottles of it when it was released.
That's quite the investment!
I did not love the 9 as much as I wanted to. That said, a great, bold, flavourful whiskey. Cheers!
Fair enough! Not everything can be a winner!

Yeah, the new Gold Spot should have been at a higher ABV, even at 50%, would have made the price seem fairer!
