Teeling Small Batch Whisky (70cl) NV

Named after founder Jack Teeling, the Teeling Whiskey Distillery opened in Dublin in 2015 and has since been blazing a trail. They’ve won 175 awards to date, including five international top gongs for this gloriously rich, blended Irish whiskey. It’s a mix of grain and malt whiskey, aged up to six years in ex-bourbon casks, then mellowed in ex-rum casks for six months. No wonder it is intriguingly nuanced, rich and complex – bottled in small batches at a punchy 46% with no chill filtration. Unsurprisingly to those who’ve tasted it, Teeling Small Batch is their best loved release. Inhale aromas of vanilla and spice with sweet rum notes, following through with rich woody notes, smooth dark fruit and intriguing spice. A spirit to linger over.
