Product description
Following the huge success of the “Brabazon Series”, Teeling Whiskey Company has expanded its award-winning “Small Batch Series” with the addition of the “Sommelier Selection” line.
The whiskeys included in it are compiled with the participation of the most famous wine producers and emphasize their influence on the image of Irish whiskey today.
