Teeling Single Pot Still (2024)
The Teeling Single Pot Still marks an exciting milestone in the history of the Teeling Distillery, which opened its doors in Dublin in 2015. This whiskey is special as it is the first independently produced Single Pot Still whiskey from the distillery. Made from a mix of 50% malted and 50% unmalted barley, it represents Irish whiskey tradition at its finest. Triple-distilled and aged in a combination of fresh white oak, ex-bourbon, and wine casks, it offers a unique array of aromas and flavors. With an ABV of 46% and no age statement, this whiskey delivers a refreshing reinterpretation of the Irish Single Pot Still whiskey.

Tasting
Nose
The first impression of this Irish whiskey is typically Irish yet rich in complexity. Floral notes dominate the bouquet, complemented by hints of grapes and light citrus like lemon and lime. A grassy, grainy character underscores the whiskey's freshness, while touches of hay lend a warm, earthy quality.
Palate
On the palate, Teeling Single Pot Still is pleasantly fruity with notes of apple and peach. These fruity tones are balanced by a hint of white pepper and cane sugar, which add a slight spiciness. Particularly intriguing are the flavors of oat cookies, offering a cozy, almost nostalgic element to the overall taste.
Finish
The finish is medium in length, pleasantly warming, and brings a solid oakiness that gives the whiskey a robust ending. A subtle wine note lingers, providing a rounded finish that invites another sip.
