Teeling Blackpitts

Teeling Blackpitts is a distinctive Irish whiskey with a rare smoky character. Inspired by the historic Blackpitts area near the Teeling Distillery in Dublin, it is made using peated malted barley and undergoes triple distillation. This process refines the smoky notes and balances them with fruity and spicy complexity.

Unlike heavily peated whiskeys, Blackpitts offers a subtle, elegant smokiness that blends seamlessly with hints of tropical fruit, vanilla, and spice. A fresh and innovative take on Irish whiskey, perfect for peat lovers and adventurous drinkers alike.

Tasting note

Nose

Light, smoky aromas reminiscent of a smoldering campfire, combined with notes of barbecue and toasted oak. Tropical fruit such as pineapple and ripe pear add a sweet freshness, while hints of honey and light spices add further depth.

Taste

A well-balanced fusion of smoke and fruit. The peat smoke remains present but is refined and subtle, allowing flavors of roasted apple, caramel, and citrus to shine. Vanilla and spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg bring extra complexity.

Finish

Long and smooth, with a lingering smokiness that gradually fades. Hints of sweet malt, toasted oak, and a touch of black pepper provide a pleasantly warming finish.
