Since 1782 the Teeling family have been making Irish whiskey and with the opening of the new Teeling Whiskey Distillery in Dublin’s Liberties area, the Teeling family have achieved what they have long set out to do – Reviving the tradition of distilling in Ireland’s capital. To celebrate this rise and the next chapter in the golden era of Irish whiskey, Teeling whiskey is proud to introduce the first release of their Rising Reserve.
Continuing the award-winning Revival and Renaissance ranges of Irish whiskies, this first release consists of hand-selected casks of Teeling’s very best and oldest single malts. Rising Reserve No.1 is a 21 year old Irish Single Malt that was originally aged in ex-bourbon casks and then underwent a second aging period in high quality Carcavelos casks. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration, this release is limited to just 6000 bottles!
Colour: Pale.
Aroma: Green apples, honey citrus and candyfloss.
Taste: Stewed fruits with caramel, wood tannins and cinnamon spice. Long finish with woody notes and rich roasted cocoa.
Serving suggestion: Should be enjoyed neat.
The Teeling family has been making Irish whiskey since 1782, when Walter Teeling opened his whiskey distillery on Marrowbone Lane in Dublin. Dublin has traditionally been the heart of Ireland’s whiskey production. The history of Ireland’s whiskey production is incredibly exciting and dramatic and is largely connected to the country’s relationship with England, for better or for worse. As many as 37 distilleries had smoke in their chimneys at the beginning of the 20th century, but one by one the distilleries closed and since 1976 no whiskey has been distilled in Dublin – until now! The Teeling Whiskey Distillery is the first newly opened distillery in Dublin in over 125 years and the Teeling family see it as their mission to bring the art of distilling back to the heart of Dublin!
The tasty whiskey comes from 3 shiny pot stills, which are named after Jack Teeling’s 3 daughters. 25% of production is dedicated to whiskey of an experimental nature, making Teeling one of the most exciting distilleries to keep an eye on in the future.
