Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt is a bold Dublin expression that redefines smoky Irish whiskey. Triple distilled for finesse and bottled at 46%, it balances barbecue smoke with vibrant fruit and honeyed spice. Matured in ex-bourbon and Sauternes casks, it’s a modern, multi-award-winning single malt that captivates both peat lovers and curious newcomers alike.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Aromatic waves of barbecue smoke intertwine with cloves, butterscotch and candied orange peel. The palate opens with applewood smoke and golden honey, laced with allspice, stewed pears and grilled pineapple. As it lingers, salted caramel and oak emerge, layered with savoury smoke and gentle wood tannin. The finish is long, smoky and subtly sweet, leaving a lasting impression of rich complexity.
