Teeling, Blackpitts, Cask Strength, Single Malt Whiskey, Ireland (56.5%)

This peated single malt from Dublin’s Teeling Whiskey is fully matured in ex-Bourbon casks. It really lives up to the name “The Big Smoke”. On the nose, there is a remarkable punch of peat-smoke and earthiness, complimented wonderfully with subtle notes of vanilla, golden apples and honey. The complexity is remarkable, with tropical fruit and charred wood developing into faint herbaceous tones and a smoky, satisfying finish.
