On a mission to explore innovative cask maturations and the influences of different wood varieties, the team at Teeling has partnered with the Tree Council of Ireland to support native tree planting with its Wonders of Wood series! This is the first expression to join the collection and sees Teeling's Single Pot Still Irish whiskey treated to full maturation in virgin Chinkapin American white oak casks. The wood has wider grain than other oak varieties, and has imparted a wealth of sweet spice and soft fruit notes to the creamy whiskey within.
Buttery fudge, silky caramel, and crisp wafers lead to bold oak and distant hints of soft stone fruits.
The creamy whiskey has taken on heaps of sweet ginger cake character, with syrup-soaked banana fritters and dollops of vanilla ice cream.
Warming spices build gradually, with woody herbs, charred oak, and a sprinkling of cacao.
