Teeling Whiskey Description
Whiskey making and entrepreneurship has been in the Teeling genes as far back as 1782, when Walter Teeling set up a small craft distillery on Marrowbone Lane, Dublin 8. Right back in the heart of the Liberties district of Dublin city, Jack and Stephen Teeling, the latest generation of whiskey makers, set up the Teeling Whiskey Company in 2012. In March 2015 they opened the Teeling Whiskey Distillery the first new distillery in Dublin in over 125 years, and just a stone’s throw from their ancestral distillery, right in the heart of the Golden Triangle, the historic distilling district of the city.
With one eye on the past, but looking to the future, we’re the new generation of Dublin distillers. We approach our craft with a respect for generations passed but with the confidence to forge the next chapter of Irish and Dublin whiskey.
SINGLE MALT: The third release in the Premium range of Teeling expressions completing our full range of non-age statement Irish whiskeys. Made from 100% Malted Barley from a range of different ages including Malt whiskey distilled in 1991. Our aim was to produce the most flavoursome non-age statement Irish Single Malt based on our innovative maturation and finishing techniques while retaining the distinctive Irish smoothness. Consists of a vatting of 5 different wine cask (Sherry, Port, Madeira, White Burgundy, Cabernet Sauvignon) finished Irish Malt whiskeys. Like all the Teeling whiskeys, it is bottled at 46% with no chill filtration allowing all the natural flavors of the whiskey to be retained.
LIQUID PROFILE: Teeling Single Malt consists of a range of Single Malts varying in both age and cask. Combined within this multi-layered liquid is the influence of 5 wine casks including Port, Sherry, Madeira, White Burgundy and Cabernet Sauvignon. With these 5 cask influences working in harmony, this whiskey has been described as “a symphony” of flavour, and bottling at 46% with no chill filtration lets the true character and depth of this whiskey ring through.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE: Vibrant with notes of melon, figs, toffee and lemon.
TASTE: A balance mix of dry fruits, citrus, vanilla, spice and cloves.
FINISH: Long with sweetness in harmony with dry tannins from the wood.
Ultimate Spirits Challenge: 88 Points
Bright and floral at first whiff, with telling notes of golden honey, cereal grain, spearmint, and apricot. Complex and lifted on the palate, stone fruits mingle with butter, nuts, and honey before finishing with delicate fruit and spice.
