At Teeling Whiskey we believe in driving the evolution of Irish Whiskey through the creation of unconventional and unique expressions. Our Wonders of Wood Series is part of this innovative mission as we strive to push the boundaries of flavour by using unique styles of wood for maturation.

In partnership with the Tree Council of Ireland, the Wonders of Wood series will help to plant exclusively native Irish tree Species in our own designated acre of land in the Wicklow area of Ireland.

The first edition of our Wonders of Wood bottlings consists of our single pot crafted from a recipe of 50% malted barley and 50% unmalted barley which has been triple distilled in our Dublin distillery and fully matured in virgin Chinkapin American white oak casks. This special release is bottled at 50% abv with no chill filtration.

Tasting notes
Nose: sweet toffee and butterscotch with caramel biscuits and wood tannins

Taste: banana bread and ginger spices dance on the palate with a velvety cream soda coating the mouth

Finish: the wood spice lingers accompanied by dark chocolate and a hint of black pepper

Well, everyone knows you don’t buy Springbank, Longrow, Hazelburn, Kilkerran or Cadenhead’s because the bottles look so great or fancy. Not sure if the old designer is still around, but as far as the labels can tell, I would expect he still is and taking care of hand drawn labels. I guess he must be well in his eighties by now.

Personally I like it like that. It really gives an authentic, retro look to the ‘less fancy’ bottles of the ‘Mitchell family’. Recently they have announced a similar, ‘weird’ marketing strategy, which I applaud, because the real whisky enthusiast, who drinks what he buys will not give a flying f*** about it, but investors or gift buyers might think differently about it. From now on all core range products from the Springbank and Glengyle distilleries will have no packaging anymore and will appear naked on the shelfs (full article).

The first one we can present to you is Kilkerran Heavily Peated batch 5.

Enjoy while you can. It is rather hard to get decent stock of Springbank/Glengyle products at the moment.

Hell yeah, it was a live festival again. Although it was limited in the amount of people that were allowed in per day, which made I could only go one day. But what great fun it was.

SITS is one of the best day of the year. So many great brands under one roof in my city: Brussels. But it is also one of those moments where you scout for interesting bottles, try new or less familiar things. Normally I am not a big fan of Fettercairn, but the Daily Dram bottling is great for a reasonable price. The masterclass of Drouin was amazing; Calvados is really leaving its ‘old man’s drink’ reputation behind, but also in the classical style you do have some great stuff out there (check Le Domfrontais). And off course one of the best independent Scottish bottlers to find Cadenhead’s; nowadays I find they are releasing less older Scotches, but we did get our hands on some +20’s which I believe to be worth trying out.

So here is our SITS 2021 selection; all is now available on the website.
