Product description
The Teeling Whiskey Company is based in Dublin and was founded in 2015 by Jack and Stephen Teeling.
Since the company's inception, the Teelings have experimented with maturing whiskey (base and finish) in a variety of barrels. Following the successes of the Small Batch Collaboration and Sommelier Selection series, their offering has been expanded to include the Explorer Series. The first entry in the new series, available exclusively at Global Travel Retail, was the Brazilian Edition finished in Amburana Hardwood Caks barrels; the second edition presented here, the Japanese Edition, is a 15-year-old blended whiskey that, after 11 years of maturing in bourbon barrels, spent another 4 years in Mugi Shochu barrels ("mugi" translates to "barley") made of Japanese oak.
