Teeling Single Pot Still Whiskey
Teeling Single Pot Still Whiskey, NAS, 46 %
This was actually the first core range whiskey product released by Teeling Distillery.
The official product info (see source) tells us that the mash bill for this product is 50 % malted barley and 50 % unmalted barley. It is a triple distilled whiskey matured in a combination of American virgin oak, ex-bourbon barrels and ex-sherry casks.
You can get the Teeling Single Pot Still Whiskey online at around GBP 50.
Nose: Tropical fruits, dried fruits and vanilla. Rich. Cut grass. With time a slightly darker side is revealed - cinnamon and leather. Mixed spices and green herbs.
Taste: Full bodied. Honey and a rich fruitiness. Creamy vanilla. Again a little spicy.
Finish: Medium long finish. Chocolate milk! Never had that association with a whiskey before. Still fruity - fresh fruit and dried fruit. Creamy vanilla. Hints of green herbs as well.
Comment: A delightful dram.
