Teeling – Small Batch Rum Cask Finish (46%)

This is Teeling Small Batch, an Irish whiskey finished in rum casks and bottled at 46% ABV. Hand-selected casks of grain and malt whiskey are first matured entirely in ex-bourbon casks. They are then married for up to 12 months in Central American rum casks, which gives a dried fruit profile. The approach is said to challenge conventional ideas of what Irish whiskey can be, with layers of flavour shaped by unconventional cask techniques.
