Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey is produced with hand-selected casks of grain and malt whiskey, initially fully aged in Ex-Bourbon barrels then married together in Central American Rum casks for up to 12 months. Corn/grain brings a distinct sweetness whilst malted barley shows rich, roasted caramel / toffee. Ex-bourbon barrels impart vanilla and oak before blending in small batches and finishing in rum casks allow the whiskies to marry and take on a subtle dried fruit character.
Teeling Small Batch has 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.
The Spirit of Dublin, Teeling Whiskey, understand that the delicate base of Irish Whiskey is the perfect canvas upon which to layer flavour and character. Varying the time, style and number of barrels used during maturation adds to subtlety and complexity. To retain purity, Teeling do not chill filter their whiskey prior to bottling, leaving as much of the natural character and richness in the bottle.
