Product description
Since selling the Cooley and Kilbeggan distilleries to Beam Suntory in 2011, the Teelings have been experimenting with the finishing of their whiskey in a variety of casks.
These trials apply to both single malt whiskey and their flagship small batch blend, which is 1/3 malt and 2/3 grain. The 2022 Small Batch Collaboration edition presented here is another result of cooperation with Dublin's Dot Brewery. This time, the classic Teeling blended whiskey was finished in barrels from the local India Pale Ale. Equipped with three stills, Teeling Distillery has been operating since 2015 and was the first distillery to open in Dublin in 125 years.
