Teeling Irish Whiskey Single Grain (750ml)

New to the U.S. market in March 2015, this rose-gold whiskey is finished in former California Cabernet Sauvignon casks. The aroma shows nuts, vanilla and orchard fruit. It’s light-bodied and slightly buttery on the palate, with lots of vanilla and custard, and a slightly fruity finish and a build of alcohol heat.Soft vanilla, orange zest and light green moss are easy on the nose. Echoed on the palate there is creamy vanilla punctuated by white pepper and mace. Sweet cream biscuits lend an airy flavor to this single grain whiskey. Nose Spice and fruit notes mingle with an underlying sweet nose. Taste Strong spice at the start developing into lush red berries and grapes, with drying tannin effect at the end. Finish Dry finish dominated by wood and spice.
