When Teeling set out to reimagine Irish whiskey, they didn’t follow the well-trodden malt path, instead, they leaned into grain. The result is this bold, red wine cask-aged single grain expression that brings unexpected depth and elegance. It’s the kind of whiskey that surprises from the first sip, modern, but rooted in Ireland’s rebel distilling spirit.

Teeling Single Grain Irish Whiskey 70cl
Brand: Teeling  Category: Single Grain Irish Whiskey  ABV: 46%  Origin: Dublin, Ireland  Vol: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Bright red berries, creamy vanilla, and a hint of toasted oak, like walking into a patisserie with berry tarts cooling on the counter.
Palate: Velvety and light, bursting with cranberry, raspberry, and spice, followed by caramel and a delicate note of dry wine tannin. The texture is smooth, layered, and distinctly different from typical Irish blends.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering red fruit, white pepper, and soft oak, tapering off into a dry yet satisfying fade.

Production Details:
This whiskey is made entirely from maize and aged exclusively in California Cabernet Sauvignon casks, giving it both sweetness and structure. Unlike most Irish whiskeys, which are triple-distilled blends or malts, this is a single grain, lighter by nature, but bold thanks to its wine cask finish and higher proof. It’s bottled at 46% with no chill-filtration, keeping its flavor intact.

Perfect For:
Perfect for curious whiskey drinkers looking for something off the beaten path. Enjoy it on a relaxed evening neat, or pour it over a single cube after a meal of roast duck or rich cheeses, it’s also a conversation starter in whiskey flights.

Expert Notes:
Teeling’s Single Grain has won multiple international awards for its innovation and balance, standing out in a category often overlooked. It proves that grain whiskey, when handled with care and creativity, can stand proudly next to single malts.

Customer Reviews:
“Didn’t expect to like a grain whiskey this much, super fruity and smooth.”
“Tasted it in Dublin, brought a bottle home, and now I’m hooked.”
“Sweet and spicy in all the right ways. Great value for something this unique.”

Interesting Fact:
This whiskey was one of the first releases from Teeling’s revival-era Dublin distillery, helping to reestablish the city as a center for premium Irish whiskey after decades of silence.

Serving Suggestions:
Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to bring out the red fruit notes. For a twist, try it in a whiskey sour to let the berry sweetness shine through.

Distillery Background:
Teeling Distillery was founded by Jack and Stephen Teeling, whose family distilling roots date back to 1782. Built in the heart of Dublin’s Liberties district, the distillery focuses on small-batch innovation, crafting expressions that respect Irish whiskey’s legacy while pushing its boundaries.
