Teeling Single Grain

Located in the heart of the historic Liberties, against the backdrop of a city steeped in whiskey history, the Teeling Whiskey Distillery opened its doors in 2015 as the first new distillery in Dublin for over 125 years, reviving this long heritage of urban Whiskey production in this famous old Dublin distilling quarter. With one eye on the past, but very much looking towards the future, Teeling's focus is on crafting unconventional Irish flavours, forging a new future for Teeling, Dublin, and Irish Whiskey.

Whiskey making and entrepreneurship has been in the Teeling family genes as far back as 1782, when Walter Teeling set up a small craft distillery on Marrowbone Lane in the industrial heart of Dublin City.

Since 2012, Jack and Stephen Teeling, the latest generation of Teeling Whiskey makers, have been putting their own mark on Irish Whiskey and came full circle in 2015 when they proudly opened the new Teeling Whiskey Distillery just down the road from where the original family distillery once stood. The Teeling Whiskey Distillery today is the first new distillery in Dublin for over 125 years.

Through the use of innovative maturation techniques, atypical mash bills and forward-thinking distillation methods, combining tradition with modern technology, Teeling are constantly pushing the boundaries of flavour.

Teeling do not chill filter their whiskey prior to bottling, leaving as much of the body, character and richness in the bottle, bottling at 46% ABV as their minimum strength, maintaining the true, natural character of all the Teeling whiskeys.

Single Grain

Teeling Single Grain Irish Whiskey is crafted using an unconventional mash bill consisting of 95% corn and 5% malted barley that has been column distilled and matured exclusively in casks that previously held Californian Cabernet Sauvignon, imparting a highly distinct red-berry and tannic profile.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Honeyed apple flesh and red grape, sweet and slightly floral with fragrant vanilla and spice, evaporated milk and brown sugar.

Palate: There's treacle on the palate, but it's light and buttery with dried cranberry developing.

Finish: Into golden syrup tart and sweet egg custard now with spicy cereal.
