This whiskey was initially intended exclusively for the Baltic States, but we managed to secure an allocation. It is a colorful appearance, the box of this new Teeling Whiskey Baltic Porter Small batch Collaboration. But the profile is also very colorful. Here’s the thing: Teeling provided the Genys brewery with a number of barrels that had been used for Blackpitts (their peated single malt). Their Imperial Baltic Porter beer rested in this. The barrels were then refilled with Teeling Small Batch whiskey.

The profile is a harmonious balance between smoke and dried fruit, roasted malt and dark chocolate, vanilla and a warming spiciness.

This is what we dare to call craft. Limited to 3000 bottles, bottled at 46% without cold filtration and above all very tasty. This is Teeling!

This is probably one of the coolest projects in the whisky industry of the last couple of years. I know it is a hard nut to crack as the available information given is massive and it is something we are less familiar with in the wonderful world of whisky.

And yes, they’ve released in all their enthusiasm too much, too quickly, which makes it hard to buy every release, but the goal of proofing TERROIRE in whisky is sooooo cooooolllll!

Maybe it is not scientifically proven, but if you have ever tried two samples of new make Waterford that have been distilled identically and have been matured in the same manner the different flavours coming from the two samples will convince you.

Now if you missed the Waterford train here is your chance to do a BACK-to-BACK tasting of different TERROIRES: 7 Single Farm Origins, 7 different flavour profiles.
