Teeling Single Grain Irish Whiskey

Teeling Single Grain Irish Whiskey is a multi-award-winning expression that redefines what Irish whiskey can be. Crafted with 95% corn and 5% malted barley, triple distilled, and matured exclusively in Californian ex-Cabernet Sauvignon casks, it delivers a bold, contemporary style with a silky mouthfeel and vibrant red-berry richness. A distinctive choice for collectors, enthusiasts, and gift-givers alike.

Tasting Notes & Experience

On the nose, a burst of ripe red grapes and summer berries wrapped in vanilla cream and a whisper of warm spice. The palate glides silkily, unfolding layers of candied cherry, blackberry coulis and toasted oak, lifted by honeyed grain sweetness. The finish lingers with soft tannins, a gentle dryness and echoes of crimson fruit and spice, inviting the next sip.
