Teeling Blackpitts Irish Whiskey // 750 ml

Teeling Blackpitts Irish Whiskey is inspired by the old ancient Blackpitts area just behind the new Teeling Whiskey Distillery in the old Liberties area of Dublin City—an area synonymous with many industries and in particular malting houses. Blackpitts was traditionally home to some of the largest barley malting houses in Ireland. By using smoke from peat to dry the barley during the malting process, the resulting peated malt produces a distinctive smoky taste profile which is the signature of a peated single malt.

What makes Teeling Blackpitts truly unique is the triple distillation process, which reduces some of the medicinal character you would get from a traditional Scottish peated single malt and allows the more barbecue smoke characteristic to shine. This is then combined with the signature Teeling cask maturation process using both ex-bourbon and ex-Sauternes white wine casks. Bottled at 46% with no chill filtration, this produces a unique expression of both Teeling and Irish Whiskey. The inspiration for the use of these casks came from a previous bottling of Teeling 24-Year-Old Single Malt which was honored as the “World’s Best Single Malt” in 2019 at the World Whiskies Awards.

Tasting Notes
An inviting nose where barbecue smoke and cloves are intermingled with fresh notes of butterscotch and orange peel. On the pallet a fascinating blend of Applewood smoke, honey and all spice are married with stewed pears and fresh grilled pineapple. This whiskey finishes with the return of a savory smoke over a lingering wood undertone, which combines delightfully with notes of salted caramel.
