Teeling Whiskey – Renaissance Series No.5 18 Years 70 CL 46%

Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Launched in 2019, the Renaissance range is designed to celebrate the global renaissance of Teeling, Dublin and Irish whisky. The fifth vintage of the Renaissance series follows the acclaimed four award-winning previous editions, which won gold at both the International Wine and Spirits Competition 2020 and the Irish Whiskey Masters 2020. As in the previous editions of this series, here they work with the older stocks of whisky, which Teeling owns.

The Renaissance range is an important part of Teeling Whiskey’s range of award-winning Irish whiskies, which have won close to 300 international awards over the past seven years, including the title of ‘World’s Best Single Malt’ at the 2019 World Whiskey Awards.

In this, the fifth installment in the Renaissance series, they have once again selected whiskeys from Teeling’s stock that were previously aged in ex-Bourbon casks. Furthermore, the whiskey is finally aged in barrels that previously contained Calvados from Northern France.

Calvados is produced in the area of the same name in Northern France and is produced by pressing apples from the area’s approximately 7 million apple trees, which are then fermented into a cider. Later, the cider is still distilled in a cask or single pot, depending on the region and style, but it is always a mixture of some of the 800 different varieties of apples (and sometimes pears) that grow in the area. The finished distillate of around 70% alcohol is stored in very large barrels with a higher oxygen supply to reduce the barrel character but also in smaller oak casks for higher intensity.

The barrels used to store Teeling Renaissance Series 5 Single Malt Whiskey Calvados Cask 18 Years Old come from well-established producers in the Calvados area with high class in their oak casks. As a curiosity, it can be mentioned that 18 kg of apples are needed for 13 liters of cider, which results in one liter of 70% alcohol.
