teeling , Ireland
The fourth release in Teeling's Revival series (celebrating the opening of Teeling's distillery in Dublin) has enjoyed a rather intriguing finishing period. After ageing in ex-bourbon barrels, this single malt whiskey was filled into Muscat Port barrels for over 12 months. Very cool stuff, with plenty of chocolate and berry notes coming through clearly from the finish. A release of 10,000 bottles.
70cl, 46%
Nose: Fresh orange and mango, with a hint of mint chocolate and fried banana, developing.
Palate: Blueberries and raspberries with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Toasted barley and ground nutmeg.
