The Teeling Small Batch Casks Finish, a distinguished Irish whiskey, boasts a smooth texture and an impeccably consistent flavor profile. Bottled in 2015 at 46% ABV, this 700ml treasure from the Teeling Whiskey Company is crafted in the Cooley distillery, located in Ireland's rich whiskey region. A hallmark of this whiskey is its maturation in rum casks, a process that imparts a unique character after undergoing no chill filtration. The aroma is sweet and vegetal, with intricate notes of white fruit compotes, flaked almonds, dried fruits, hazelnuts, green wood, and sugar cane. On the palate, it delivers a delightful interplay of sugar cane, wood, and fruit flavors. The finish is long and warming, leaving behind persistent sweetness, spiciness, and hints of oak. Teeling Distillery, stationed in Dublin's historic Liberties neighborhood, is the city's first new distillery in over 125 years. Opened by the Teeling family, who have been distilling since 1782, the distillery combines a rich tradition with a modern approach. It has quickly garnered numerous awards and a reputation for quality, providing visitors an in-depth experience through its tours and tastings. Hand-selected casks of grain and malt whiskey are fully matured in ex-Bourbon casks before being blended in Central American rum casks for up to 12 months, resulting in a unique dried fruit profile. Characterized by floral and spicy notes, with subtle hints of vanilla, raisins, and apricots, this whiskey offers a rich, romantic sweetness with a light spiciness. Some reviews have noted the young blend as seasoned yet with an intrusive alcohol presence. Over time, with added water, the whiskey reveals vanilla and apple pie with fruit compote. The taste is sweet and sour, often vigorous, featuring apple, vanilla, light herbs, and a significant amount of sugar. The finish is moderately spicy and sour, attributed to its youth.
Its unique character stems from maturation in rum casks, imparting a dried fruit profile and a rich, complex flavor.
