The Dublin based Teeling Whiskey, has announced the launch
of a new single grain expression.
Teeling 15 Year Old Single Grain (50% ABV) which was
produced using a mashbill of 95% corn and 5% malted barley, was initially
matured in ex-Bourbon barrels, before undergoing a secondary period of
maturation in ex-Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc casks.

This latest release which follows on from their multi-award winning core offering which was first released in 2013, is said to deliver note of grapefruit, green apple and honeysuckle on the nose, followed by notes of fresh and zesty peppers, honeydew melon, vanilla and pear on the palate.
Commenting on the launch, Jack Teeling, Founder of the
Teeling Whiskey Company, said: “It’s a little known fact that the majority of
Irish whiskey sold is actually grain whiskey as it makes up the majority of the
composition in big multinational owned brands of Irish whiskey. As such, since
our formation we have been keen to ensure we offered unique and interesting
expressions of Teeling Single Grain Whiskey. Our new 15-Year-Old release is a
further representation of our mission to help drive the continued expansion of
the Irish whiskey category through unique bottlings and expressions.”
Teeling 15 Year Old Single Grain, will initially be available
later this month from specialist retailers in Ireland, before rolling out to
international markets, for a RRP of €110.00.
