Irish single grain whiskey from Teeling! There are only an elite few Irish single grain whiskies out there at the moment, but Teeling went ahead and made theirs unique by maturing it in Californian Cabernet Sauvignon casks. Deliciously sweet with a good deal of spice and fruit hide within the Teeling Single Grain.
Honeyed apple flesh and red grape, sweet and slightly floral with fragrant vanilla and spice, evaporated milk and brown sugar.
There's treacle on the palate, but it's light and buttery with dried cranberry developing.
Into golden syrup tart and sweet egg custard now with spicy cereal.
This is a thoroughly enjoyable grain whiskey, sweet and fairly light but full of flavour.
I have reviewed Teeling Single Grain before,but having just bought another bottle I felt it necessary to repeat the fact that this is a lovely whiskey,and the best single grain I have tried.
Got a bottle from a friend and WOW its just so nice
I tasted this at the Teeling distillery in Dublin alongside the Single Malt and the Small Batch, and this was my favourite. I'm a fan of American grain whiskeys for their character, but really wasn't expecting this Irish interpretation to be so complex. All three were very good, but maybe the element of surprise made this my favourite. It's just a little bit lighter than other grain whiskeys, and made it borderline refreshing!
This whiskey is a real treat, and excellent value. It is smooth and full of flavour, only surpassed by the Teelings 15 year old.
Lovely. Fresh and fruity with an enjoyable finish.This is something special.
