Whiskey Teeling Irish Whiskey Single Malt 70cl (boxed)

Region: Dublin Ireland
Alcohol content: 46% vol
Content: 70cl

Here is the latest release from the Dublin distillery, awarded at the World Whiskies Awards 2015 as Ireland's best single malt.

Teeling Single Malt is a whiskey that contains only Irish single malts aged in casks that have previously held wine (Sherry, Port, Madeira, Burgundy Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon), this type of aging had never been attempted by any Irish distillery and contains whiskeys aged up to 23 years.

The Teeling Single Malt is bottled unchill-filtered at 46% ABV. Brothers Jack and Stephen Teeling have nailed it again.

On the nose it is vibrant and balanced with fruity notes of citrus, toffee, melon and figs.

On the palate it is complex yet easy to drink, with a defined balance of nuances from the five different barrels used for aging, dried fruit, citrus, vanilla and spice.

The finish is persistent with elegant notes of wood and vanilla.

The Teeling Whiskey Co. is the heir to an ancient dynasty of Irish distillers, the Teelings, active in the industry since 1782.

The company is now run by brothers Jack and Stephen Teeling, who until recently held top positions at the Cooley Distillery, before it was sold to the American group Jim Beam.

The Teeling Whiskey Co. today aims to bring back to the market the authentic, now lost, artisanal tradition of high-quality Irish whiskey: for this reason its emblem is the image of a phoenix “reborn” from a stylized still.

To make their entrepreneurial mission concrete and visible, Jack and Stephen Teeling opened their company in the heart of Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, where no whisky-related businesses had been established for over a century.

Excellent paired with smoked meats. It also pairs well with dark chocolate.

Serve in a Glencarn at 18/20°C
