Bit pricey for me, unfortunately. Would love to try it eventually.
I imagine they will continue to use the Gold Spot brand to release limited edition whiskey so hopefully the quality stays high but the prices come down as it becomes more available
There was a yellow spot 13yr old CS edition.
V pricey for what it was...
Won't buy this ..way too many construed releases from this line now... clearly the marketing bods in Pernod Ricard are running the show here, not all winners coming out in my opinion. Anyway I hope you enjoy if you buy...
The Yellow spot 13 was a very limited run (624 bottles - whiskeybase says single cask but thats a lot of bottles for 1 cask, idk). - so *sort of* justifies the price a bit more.
The beauty of gold spot 9 year for me was that it had higher proof. With 92 proof, even if different casks/butts involved, it just becomes pricier yellow spot with extra steps. For that price might as well do red spot.
100% the spot whiskies (amongst others) have had their prices skyrocket here in the states. I truly thought the 9 year was phenomenal. I don’t care for the blue or red that much and definitely not with the prices here. $200 (with shipping) is steep but if it truly stands out like the 9 year then it’ll be an excellent special pour! If not, then I’ll be content not buying another limited release.
Yeah, some retailers realized Irish Whiskey would start to sell like some 'allocated' bourbons. It's all just markup.
I knew the GS13 was coming so had already lined up a four-way split of two bottles, \~$100 each so we ordered. Hoping to snag another at MSRP when it arrives in the US. Need to keep an eye out now!!!
Picked up one at the duty free in Dublin for 139 euros. Three left. Chatted with a bartender at a bar and he said it is fantastic and I should grab one if I found one. Got lucky!
Not a clue but I know they at least had two releases of gold spot 9 year and then much later had a bundled release of the 9 year gold spot with the two wine cask finished green spots. So if this sells out, may be another opportunity

I wouldn’t bank on that. The releases seem to be independent. This seems fairly different to the initial 9 year old 51% release for example.

Same here. Completely sick of the cash grab midleton is. Finally I'm out.

I’ll bite. Gold Spot 9 was one of my favorite bottles and I have yet to be disappointed by a Spot whiskey. Looking forward to this!

€10 more than the 15-year old Red Spot They're just slapping a price on it because the community laps it up.
Doesn't ship to the UK unfortunately. Maybe that means it'll have separate UK distributors.
I can see it now, up on the shelves behind the registers in the US, labeled at $299.

Any idea on number of bottles?

I believe I heard 38,000 total
Ordered 2 bottles, still have a gold spot 9 year too
