Product description
Almost since the sale of the Cooley and Kilbeggan distilleries to Beam Suntory in 2011, the Teelings have been experimenting with finishing in a variety of casks.
One of the latest editions is a collaboration between Teeling Whiskey Co. and Dublin's Dot Brewery, which uses rum barrels previously used by Teeling Distillery to mature its porter. This time, the traditional Teeling blended whiskey has been bottled in dark porter barrels from the aforementioned brewery for the final months of the months. Teeling Dark Porter Finish is bottled at 46% ABV and without chill filtration; it debuted in early 2022 in the Small Batch Collaboration series.
