Teeling Whiskey Release Rare 15-Year-Old Single Grain

Teeling Whiskey, Ireland’s leading progressive Irish whiskey company, has released the latest in its award-winning Single Grain range with it's new Teeling 15-Year-Old Irish Single Grain.

The 15-Year-Old release consists of triple distilled Irish whiskey distilled predominantly from maize, initially matured in ex-Bourbon barrels before being given extra maturation in ex-Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc casks and bottled at 50% ABV to capture all its natural flavour. (RRP of €110 per 70cl)

This release is only Teeling Whiskey’s third and oldest release of Single Grain. It follows on from the multi-award winning core offering of Teeling Whiskey Single Grain which was first released in 2013 and has been honoured on numerous occasions as the World’s Best Irish Single Grain.

This new, older expression of Teeling Single Grain also differs through its dual cask maturation. The initial Bourbon cask maturation produces a beautiful base of sweet vanilla and caramel with buttery oak, which is then complimented by the extra aging in the French Sauvignon Blanc Wine casks, layering on a beautiful bouquet of green apples on the nose with light citrus and orange blossom giving way to smooth, delicate vanilla and caramel notes on the palate.

This new release adds another option in an exciting new sub-category of Irish and global whiskey with whiskey drinkers becoming more knowledgeable and interested in what Single Grain can offer.

Jack Teeling, Founder of the Teeling Whiskey Company, commented, “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.”

As part of Teeling Whiskey's sustainability efforts their 15 Year Old Single Grain secondary packaging is 100% Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) sustainably sourced recycled material and fully recyclable.

The Teeling 15-Year-Old Single Grain will be available initially in the Teeling Whiskey Distillery, Celtic Whiskey Shop and very select Irish retailers at a RRP of €110 per 70cl, before being rolled out to a range of International markets across Asia and Europe over the next few months.
