By marrying parcels finished across five wine styles, the team composes a layered “symphony” of fruit, spice and chocolate—signature Teeling innovation rooted in classic Irish finesse.
Special Features
This single malt is triple distilled for purity, then finished across five wine casks to amplify red-berry richness, orchard brightness and confectionary cocoa. Bottled at a generous 46% and non-chill filtered, it preserves natural oils for a fuller texture—equally at home as a contemplative sipper or the elegant core of a premium cocktail.
