Tasting note

Jack Teeling comes from a family steeped in the history and making of Irish whiskey. This independent bottling of the Teeling Whiskey Company is non-chill filtered and finished in ex-Flor de Cana rum barrels to give an extra sweet, smooth flavour. Pale amber, it has a gentle, sweet entry on the palate with vanilla, spice and sweet notes of rum. It finishes firm with an undertone of spice and wood. Very approachable and friendly, it will appeal to both whisky neophytes and aficionados. Score - 91. (Margaret Swaine, winealign.com, Oct. 14, 2014)

Teeling Irish Whiskey is a small batch bottling from hand selected casks of Grain and Malt whiskey which are further matured in former Rum barrels. Teeling Irish Whiskey is bottled at 46% with no chill filtration which provides an extra sweet and smooth flavour making it truly a unique Irish Whiskey.

Nose: An inviting nose where vanilla and spice dances with bright sweet notes of rum. Taste: While remaining very approachable the influence of the rum cask and higher alcohol content creates a uniquely smooth, sweet and slightly woody marriage that sparkles on the tongue. Finish: Slightly Moorish, sweet spice finish complemented by woody undertones.
