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.
Had the pleasure of enjoying a dram of this following a tour of the Teeling distillery in Dublin last week; it is a very fine bourbon-style whiskey. It has the roundness of a good Irish Whiskey with the sweetness of a good American Bourbon.
Enjoying it neat on a hot asian summer. Fruity, light and a tad dry.
Unique. Belter of a whiskey.

Tasted first time in Shelbourne pub in Cork. I stumbled (!) on it during a break from playing trumpet at the recent Jazz Festival. Bought 2 bottles to bring home to Yorkshire! The taste & warmth are fantastic.
