Q-Z

This is a single cask New Zealand exclusive from the Teeling distillery in Dublin, finished in a Ruby Port cask. The wood has imparted flavours of candied fruit, berry compote with hints of spice. This is an excellent example of single cask whiskey, velvety, rich with a complexity to enjoy.

This is the first release from Teeling's new distillery in Dublin. The Single Pot Still is made from 50% unmalted spring barley and 50% malted barley which is then triple distilled and matured in a combination of virgin oak, ex-wine and ex-bourbon barrels. The nose has notes of hibiscus flowers, honeycomb, white grapes and uplifting grapefruit and citrus. The palate has lychee, white grapes and white pepper. The finish is dry with warming spice, roasted almonds and sweet maple sugar.

Fully matured in Californian red wine barrels resulting in an intensely fruity and beautifully amber liquid, with lush berry notes. Hand selected casks, bottled at 46% with no chill filtration and matured in Californian red wine barrels which results in a fruity dram with sweet berry notes and vanilla.The finish dominated by wood and sweet spice.

This is the first single malt release from the Teeling Whisky Company and their Dublin distillery, the city's first new whiskey in over 125 years. It has a vibrant nose, with notes of melon, fig and toffee. The taste is balanced with flavours of dried fruits, citrus, vanilla and sweet spice, finishing with a mellow, sweet oaky character.

The Teeling Whiskey Company was founded by Jack Teeling, son of John Teeling who was the founder of the Cooley distillery in 1987. The Teeling family are currently bottling whiskey's from Cooley, and this first release is a small batch of casks that have been bottled at 46% without chill filtration or colouring. Uniquely for an Irish Whiskey, it has been finished in rum barrels for an extra tweak of sweetness and spice.

This whisky has been maturing for 15 years in mugi shochu casks. It has notes of lychee and jasmine tea, tropical fruits and gingerbread cookies. The finish is soft and mellow with gentle wood tannins and dried fruits.
