Teeling Single Grain Whiskey

Teeling Single Grain Irish Whiskey

Teeling Single Grain Irish Whiskey is a distinctive expression from the Teeling Whiskey Company, crafted in Dublin, Ireland. Unlike many Irish whiskies, this single grain whiskey focuses on a corn‑based mash bill — approximately 95% corn and 5% malted barley — and is column distilled for a smooth, approachable character. It is then matured exclusively in ex‑American red wine casks, which imparts a unique red fruit and tannic profilerarely found in traditional Irish grain whiskies. Teeling Distillery+1

Tasting Profile

• Aroma: Red grapes, berries, subtle spice, and gentle sweetness on the nose.

• Palate: Silky smooth with fruity red berry notes balanced by underlying spice and sweetness.

• Finish: A short, dry finish with a pleasant hint of tannin from the wine‑cask maturation. Teeling Distillery+1

This whiskey is bottled at 46% ABV and is non‑chill filtered, meaning more of its natural character is preserved. Teeling Whiskey

What Makes It Stand Out

• Unconventional maturation: Exclusively aged in red wine barrels rather than the more common bourbon or sherry casks.

• Distinct flavour profile: The wine cask influence gives this grain whisky a ripe berry and gentle spice character that makes it interestingly different from most Irish whiskies.

• Smooth character: Its silky texture and fruit sweetness make it enjoyable neat, with a splash of water, or alongside food — and it can be an approachable choice for those exploring whisky pairings with cigars.

Pairing Notes

Teeling Single Grain’s lighter body and fruity sweetness can pair well with milder to medium cigars, where the wine‑cask fruit notes can echo the spice and sweetness in the tobacco, offering a balanced tasting experience.
