Description
Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey is the flagship of our award winning Irish Whiskey range. It is a celebration of our spirit of innovation here at Teeling Whiskey, with each step of the process imparting a distinct character unique to us. Hand selected casks of grain and malt whiskey are initially fully aged in ex-bourbon barrels, then married together in Central American rum casks for up to 12 months for a unique, dried fruit profile.
Tasting Notes
An inviting nose where vanilla and spice dance with bright sweet notes of Rum.
The palate has a solid Rum influence that creates a unique smooth, sweet and slightly woody marriage that sparkles on the tongue. Exotic fruit notes push through as well, with a sweet spicy finish complimented by lingering woody undertones.
Corn
The corn/grain element of the blend brings a distinct sweetness, acting as a canvas for the rich, roasted caramel / toffee character of the malted barley.
Ex-bourbon casks
The grain and malt whiskeys are aged separetely in ex-bourbon barrels, in a ration of roughly 3:1, grain to malt. Vanilla and oak notes are imparted at this stage.
Rum casks
Blending in small batches and finishing in Central American rum casks, allow the grain and malt whiskey to marry and take on a subtle dried fruit character.
