Teeling - Small Batch Irish Whiskey

Teeling Small Batch represents the revival of Dublin whiskey distilling, produced by the Teeling Whiskey Company, which opened the first new distillery in Dublin in over 125 years when it launched in 2015. This Irish whiskey is crafted from a blend of grain and malt whiskeys, initially matured in ex-bourbon barrels before receiving a finishing period in Central American rum casks. This rum cask influence sets it apart from most Irish whiskeys and contributes significantly to its character. The whiskey is non-chill filtered and bottled at 46 percent ABV, preserving more texture and flavor than many standard bottlings. Jack and Stephen Teeling, sons of John Teeling who founded Cooley Distillery, created this brand to honor Dublin's rich whiskey heritage while pushing boundaries with innovative cask finishes. The rum barrel maturation adds layers of tropical sweetness and spice that complement the typical Irish smoothness. Small Batch works equally well neat, with a splash of water, or in cocktails where its vanilla and fruit notes can shine through. For those seeking an Irish whiskey with more complexity than the usual offerings, Teeling provides genuine distinction without straying too far from tradition.
