An exceptional interpretation of Irish single malt whiskey – aged for 21 years, embodying a perfect harmony of tradition and innovation. Distilled from Irish malted barley, it was first matured in ex-bourbon casks, then finished in high-quality white wine barrels. This limited release (only 6,000 bottles worldwide) showcases Teeling’s bold approach to crafting a whiskey that is soft, fruity, yet structurally complete and expressive.
The nose opens with notes of pastry dough, vanilla, lemon, and caramel, followed by delicate hints of toasted barley. The aroma is light yet expressive – free from excessive oak influence, allowing the fruit character to shine vividly.
On the palate, the whiskey unfolds gently, revealing a highly fruity profile – bright tones of tropical fruit and citrus peel, complemented by white chocolate and the subtle sweetness of summer apples and pears. The finish is long and gracefully extended, leaving behind honeyed, fruity, and nutty nuances.
The choice of white wine casks for the final maturation stage adds not only texture but also a fresh, fruity dimension – an uncommon yet distinctive Irish approach to single malt whiskey.
