Teeling Small Batch Blend Irish Whiskey - 70cl 46%

Finished in rum casks and bottled at 46% without chill-filtration, this Teeling small batch blend is an excellent statement of intent.

This Whiskey challenges the convention of what an Irish Whiskey can be, with layers of unique flavour influenced by unconventional cask maturation techniques.

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.

Nose: Lots of apple notes, freshly cut as well as baked with a dash of white rum. There are some spices and a fruitiness.

Palate: A very nice, typically Irish fruitiness and creamy vanilla. Apple and grapefruit is quickly taken over by grains, some alcohol heat and finally dried herbs with some bitter tonic.

Finish: Grainy and peppery. Not too long.
