World Whiskeys Awards 2019 – Best Irish Blended Ltd. Release:
“Honey, hay, vanilla cream, satsuma and cooked pear on the nose. Warm sponge cake, almonds, milk chocolate chips… it’s baking day! Palate has fizzy sherbet, candied lemon, dark treacle and cinnamon. Gentle spice on the finish and a little burnt biscuity note towards the end.”
Teeling Stout Cask Finish is an Irish single malt whiskey that, as the name suggests, is aged in oak casks previously used for aging dark beer from Galway Bay Brewery.

Colour: Golden.
Aroma: Malted notes, caramel and lots of chocolate and cocoa.
Tasting notes: Plums, orange and dark chocolate.
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.
