Incredible 30 year old single malt Irish whiskey from the amazing Teeling team! Distilled in 1991, this stunning expression was originally left to age in bourbon casks. After many moons, the whiskey was then matured in Sauternes casks, giving the spirit a glorious dose of light, fruity sweetness. A release of 4,000 bottles.
Nose: A luxurious combination of fresh orchard, roasted nuts and chocolate.
Taste: Velvety with real depth of peach and apricot, hints of citrus fruit are interwoven with a light touch of smoke and herbaceous woody notes.
Finish: Long, lingering fruit notes with a characteristic blend of spicy oak and smoked sea salt.
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.
