Bowmore 16yo at cask strenght

I’m not often blown away by expensive bottles, because they don’t live up to expectations. Often the big price difference with other average priced quality bottles is not justified by more flavour sensations. Most of the time it’s the iconic brands, the collectability, the investment value, the closed distillery status,… that pushes the prices up.

As some people may know I am a big fan of Teeling Distillery because of their fruity whiskies they tend to produce. Well, this Bowmore seems Single Cask Teeling Whiskey with an additional smoke and peated layer wrapping the whole thing together. If you are looking for exotic, fruity, smoked & peated whisky then this is it. At cask strenght it’s a fully bodied whisky that lingers on.

Renaissance 1st edition has arrived

We announced it a while back, but special series 1st edition is now available.

I popped open a bottle and it didn’t dissappoint. Teeling seldom does in my opinion. Already looking forward to the 2nd edition.

To celebrate the rebirth and beginning of a new chapter in Irish Whiskey’s new Golden Era, Teeling Whiskey is proud to release the Teeling Renaissance, a limited series of Single Malt bottlings, celebrating the very best Teeling Whiskey has to offer.

Its the first limited edition bottling in the Renaissance series, limited to 9,000 bottles, bottled at 46% with no chill filtration.

Dublin’s first Single Pot Still Whiskey

It has been a long time coming. The evolution of Teeling Irish Whiskey is one we’ve watched since mid-2014, when they first debuted some older sourced whiskey expressions alongside the stated goal of bringing whiskey making back into the heart of Dublin, Ireland. This they accomplished in early 2015 when their first barrel of aging whiskey was laid down even as they shortly thereafter opened the doors to their new distillery to the public. And now, in a move which brings them full circle, Teeling Whiskey, well known for full bodied, fruity Irish whiskey has finally produced it’s first Single Pot Still Whiskey in its distillery in Dublin.

Now available.
