A wholly unique style within Irish Whiskey, pushing the boundaries of convention, at the intersect of where old meets new. Teeling Single Grain Irish Whiskey is crafted using an unconventional mash bill consisting of 95% corn and 5% malted barley that has been triple distilled and matured exclusively in French oak Ex-Cabernet Sauvignon red wine casks from California, producing a truly unique Irish Whiskey. This highly unique style is almost entirely corn-based. The 95%+ corn base imparts a distinctly sweet flavour profile. The Process of column distillation provides a light, soft, neutral base to layer flavour through unique barrel choice in the next step. The wholly unique use of red wine barrels from the Napa Valley, California, imparts a red berry influence, with a touch of tannic spice.
The nose opens with spice and fruit notes that mingle with an underlying sweet, sugary note. The palate has a silky smooth mouthfeel, with a touch of spice and deep berry notes that balance the sweet undertones. The tannic influence of the red wine creates a unique, short, dry finish, encouraging another sip.
