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 was lucky enough to try this on a recent tasting. Considering grain whiskies generally lack the depth of flavour profile of malts, especially at the younger end of the scale, this whikey knocks that into a cocked hat. A great, fruit laden spicey dram from this 5yr old grain. Well done Stephen Teeling and the team and well worth the money. Very unique
