Teeling Single Malt is an award-winning Irish single malt whiskey finished in five different wine cask types, Sherry, Port, Madeira, White Burgundy and Cabernet Sauvignon, and bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV).
That five-wine-cask finishing program is the defining characteristic of Teeling Single Malt: where most Irish single malts use one or two cask types, Teeling layers five, producing a uniquely fruit-forward and complex whiskey. It earned a Gold Medal at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Teeling is a Dublin whiskey company, and its labels carry the phoenix and the spirit of Dublin. The result is bright and fruity, with layered dried and fresh fruit, spice and malt from the variety of wine casks.
Presented in its tube, it is a fine gift for Irish whiskey fans.
Irish single malt is made from 100% malted barley at a single distillery.
Finishing a whiskey in wine casks adds fruit, color and depth over a final period of maturation.
Sherry and Port casks bring rich dried fruit, while Madeira adds nutty notes and White Burgundy a lighter, fresher fruit.
Cabernet Sauvignon casks contribute red berry and gentle tannin.
Irish whiskey is known for its smooth, approachable style, often from triple distillation.
A drop of water helps the fruit notes open in the glass.
Using several different wine casks lets a blender layer flavors that a single cask type could not achieve.
Its 46% strength gives the whiskey more texture and flavor than the standard 40%.
Serve it with a cheese board, where the wine-cask fruit meets nutty, aged cheeses.
