Teeling Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Product Description

Teeling Single Malt Irish Whiskey: Five Casks, One Fruit-Forward Dram

Teeling Single Malt is the bottle that made a lot of drinkers rethink Irish whiskey. It’s made from Irish whiskeys distilled from 100% malted barley, then matured and finished in casks that bring the influence of five different wood types. The brand describes the result as a unique fruit-forward flavor profile that’s complex yet balanced, often called “a symphony” of flavor. It’s triple distilled and bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, so it keeps its texture and flavor.

Teeling is a family brand. Jack Teeling launched the whiskey company in 2012 and was later joined by his brother Stephen, and the brand’s Dublin distillery opened in 2015. Master distiller Alex Chasko works with them on the range. The Single Malt has won recognition as Best Irish Single Malt (no age statement) at the World Whiskies Awards.

How Teeling Single Malt Is Made

The whiskey starts as Irish single malt distilled from 100% malted barley. It’s matured and finished using five cask types: virgin American oak, ruby port, Carcavelos white port, Madeira, and bourbon. Each one adds a different layer, with port bringing berry fruit, Madeira adding nutty richness, and bourbon and virgin oak adding vanilla and spice. It’s triple distilled, bottled at 46% ABV, and non-chill filtered. There’s no age statement.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Gold.

Nose: A vibrant, fruity aroma with tropical melon, caramelized sugar, oak spice, and ginger, with hints of chocolate.

Palate: A smooth start that develops into a full bouquet of fruit, with bittersweet chocolate, soft spice, and mixed berries.

Finish: Luxuriously long, with hints of oak and lingering tropical passionfruit.

Food Pairings

The tropical fruit, berry, and chocolate notes pair well with dark chocolate, aged cheddar, and blue cheese. It also goes with fresh fruit, cheesecake, and nutty desserts, and with roasted pork or duck.

Serving Suggestions

At 46% ABV, it’s best neat or with a few drops of water, though the brand’s profile also holds up over a large ice cube. It makes a good Irish highball with ginger ale and a lime wedge, and the fruit and spice work well in an Irish Old Fashioned. It’s a good bottle to introduce a scotch drinker to Irish single malt.
