Teeling is restrained and shy on the nose, but this is a blend, a mix of lighter grain whiskies with richer malt whiskey. Its purpose is not to overwhelm you with its demand of “Here!” “Now!” like a single malt, but gently entice you into the glass to discover richer treasure underneath. With a drink, it’s at once silky and sumptuous with notes of cardamom and vanilla, a slight touch of the caramel sugars from the rum and bourbon casks. A medium finish, it gives room for a draw from the cigar to complete its double helix of flavor.

 

It's elegant, soft, simple complexity of the Teeling Irish Whiskey. Small batch, which means they built the profile from selected barrels in the warehouse, and bottled without chill-filtration or artificial coloring. While Irish whiskey, by tradition, is lighter and sweeter due to a third distillation (double distilled across the channel in Scotland), this one brings the noise with a second barreling in rum casks. The spicy fruit in its 500 thread softness lingers around the back of the mouth (no chill filtering enhances mouthfeel by leaving in the fats) waiting for a waft of the Relentless to snuggle up with under the covers.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: An inviting nose where vanilla and spice dances with bright sweet notes of Rum.

Taste: While being very approachable the influence of the rum cask and higher percentage alcohol creates a unique smooth, sweet, slightly woody marriage that sparkles on the tongue.
 
Finish: Slightly moorish, sweet spice finish complimented by woody undertones.
