This latest bottling in the series which pays homage to the unique and distinct role that fortified wines can have on Irish whiskey, is said to continue Teeling’s dedication to creating new and interesting expressions of whiskey, and in particular expanding the underdeveloped Irish single malt category.
For this fourth and final release in the Brabazon Series,
Teeling sourced barrels of a long forgotten historical style of Portuguese Port;
Carcavelos, to help produce what they describe as a truly unique and
distinctive bottling of whiskey.
Carcavelos, which dates back to the 18th century, was historically
produced just outside of Lisbon. Most of the wineries have disappeared over the
years, but it is still being produced on a very small artisanal scale, on a 25
acre site.
Commenting on the news, Jack Teeling, Founder and Managing
Director of Teeling Whiskey, said: “Our aim with our Brabazon Bottling Series
is to create full bodied tasting experiences for people who enjoy the added
complexity and taste that fortified wine maturation imparts. We now complete
the Series with our final bottling, this time using barrels previously used for
a rare White Port, which produces a very unique expression of Teeling and Irish
whiskey. This is a fitting end to our award-winning Series which celebrates the
combination of old and new as well as highlighting our unique approach to
making Irish Whiskey and our spirit of innovation.”
Limited to 10,000 bottles, Teeling Brabazon Bottling - Series
4, is now available from specialist retailers in Ireland, ahead of rolling out
to select international markets. RRP €95.00.
