Teeling Single Pot Still Whiskey

This fine Irish dram is both complex and well-balanced for a perfect sip.

In 2015, Jack and Stephen Teeling founded the Teeling Distillery in The Liberties section of Dublin. It was the first new distillery to open in that city in over one-hundred years. Their father John built the Cooley Distillery in County Louth thirty years earlier, and their great-great grandfather Walter Teeling had built a distillery two hundred years before that. So to say that Irish Whiskey is in the blood is to understate things a bit. And all that family experience has not gone to waste — their Whiskeys are all highly rated and even after only a few years of operation they export their expanding line of premium Irish Spirits to 55 countries.

Teeling Single Pot Still Whiskey is really well balanced and well crafted. And it all starts with the unique mash bill of 50% malted barely and 50% un-malted barley. This combination delivers the florals and fruits of a Single Malt with the warmth and spice of a grain. It’s triple distilled in small batches — as an Irish should be — and aged in three cask types virgin oak, ex-Bourbon, and ex-Sherry. Of course, this fine dram is bottled at a perfect 46% ABV without chill-filtration or anything artificial. If you know your flavor profiles, then you know this is one worth trying.
