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.
Our Flagship Irish whiskey and our attempt to create the most interesting Blended Irish whiskey. This small batch bottling consists of hand selected casks which are given further maturation in ex-rum barrels imparting extra character and smooth flavour unique to Irish whiskey. Bottling at 46% with no chill filtration completes an Irish whiskey of true character.
LIQUID PROFILE: Teeling Small Batch challenges the convention of what an Irish blend should be. The flagship of our Trinity Range, Teeling Small Batch consists of hand selected casks of grain and malt whiskey, initially aged in ex-bourbon casks for up to 6 years, and then married together for more than 6 months in ex-rum cask from Central America, imparting a unique dried fruit profile. Like all of our Trinity Range, this whiskey is bottled at 46% with no chill filtration, completing an Irish Whiskey of true character.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE: An inviting nose where vanilla and spice dances with bright sweet notes of rum.
TASTE: While being very approachable the influence of the rum cask and higher percentage alcohol creates a unique smooth, sweet, slightly woody marriage that sparkles on the tongue.
FINISH; A sweet spice finish complimented by woody undertones.
Ultimate Spirits Challenge: 89 Points
This is a beautifully elegant Irish whiskey with enticing aromas of butterscotch, baked honey pastry, and roasted oats. The indulgence continues on the palate where the whiskey’s robust body carries succulent oak and caramel tones.
