Teeling 13 years 2008 - 2022 #29639 for Passion for Whisky

We are proud to present here our Single Cask from Teeling Distillery. Michel and Stefan travelled to Dublin and selected a great cask at Teeling Distillery's warehouse. Before the Irish Malt Whiskey entered the cask, this cask was used by Bodegas Ximénez-Spinola and had Pedro Ximénez sherry in it. This has resulted in a full-bodied, spicy but very approachable Irish Single Malt Whiskey.

Tasting note

Nose

What a character, full-bodied, spicy, sweet and, above all, lots of aroma. Red stewed apples, toasted nuts and sum sultanas. The lovely PX sherry cask has added a hint of balsamic to the aroma.

Taste

Bitter sweet chocolate, of those chocolate sultanas. But also enjoyed chocolate blasamic sauce over stewed pears. Full-bodied and round. Mild, but with character due to the firm alcohol. Caramel fudge completes the finish.

Finish

The mild sweetness of the flavour, gets a lot drier in the finish. But what an extremely long finish, delicious.

What Teeling itself has to say about it

"Our Master Distiller Alex Chasko is renowned for his innovative cask selection when it comes to Irish Whiskey, creating expressions of true character. This single cask was hand selected by our good friends from PassionForWhisky.com and Teeling Whiskey are honoured to bottle this rare and unique cask for the Netherlands. The single malt whiskey has spent 13 years maturing in an ex-PX Sherry cask from the acclaimed Xímenez-Spínola bodega, before being decanted from cask number 29639. Limited to just 276 bottles, non-chill filtered and bottled at 57.8% ABV, this is truly an Irish Whiskey to savour."

Teeling Distillery

Located in the heart of Dublin, Ireland, Teeling Distillery marks the return of whiskey production to the city after a 125-year hiatus. Founded in 2015 by brothers Jack and Stephen Teeling, the distillery builds on its rich family history in the Irish whiskey industry, dating back to 1782.

A unique feature of Teeling Distillery is its use of both traditional and innovative techniques. The distillery uses copper pot stills for triple distillation, ensuring a smooth and refined spirit. Teeling also experiments with a wide range of casks for maturation, including ex-bourbon, rum, wine and sherry, resulting in whiskeys with complex and layered flavour profiles.

Teeling whiskeys are known for their rich and fruity character, with notes of vanilla, caramel, dried fruit and a subtle spiciness.

The combination of a historic Dublin location, innovative maturation techniques and a strong commitment to quality makes Teeling Distillery a respected name in the world of Irish whiskey.
