Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey is a multi-award-winning flagship blend known for its unique rum cask finish, which imparts tropical fruit and vanilla notes not typically found in traditional Irish whiskey. It is bottled at a higher 46% ABV and is non-chill filtered, resulting in a richer, more complex flavor profile than many mainstream alternatives.
Key Details and Tasting Notes
The unique character of Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey comes from its maturation process. It is a blend of malt and grain whiskies initially aged in ex-bourbon barrels, then married and finished for 6 to 12 months in Flor de Caña rum casks from Central America. This innovative approach gives it a distinctive flavor.
