Named after the historic industrial area of Dublin where malt houses once thrived, Blackpitts is Teeling’s bold leap into heavily peated territory, a rarity for Irish whiskey. The Big Smoke Cask Strength expression takes that peat character and turns it up to eleven, delivering a full throttle experience for those who like their drams unapologetically intense. It’s the kind of whiskey that makes you feel like you’re standing by a roaring bonfire on a windswept coast.

Teeling Blackpitts Big Smoke Cask Strength Peated Single Malt 70cl
Brand: Teeling | Category: Irish Whiskey (Peated Single Malt) | ABV: 56.5% | Origin: Ireland | Vol: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Smouldering campfire smoke layered with charred oak, salted caramel, and hints of grilled pineapple.
Palate: Powerful waves of peat, peppered spice, and dark chocolate, balanced by bursts of sweet malt and tropical fruit. The higher ABV brings a gripping texture and intensity.
Finish: Long, smoky, and warming, like the last glowing embers of a fire, lingering with earthy depth and a whisper of sweetness.

Production Details:
Triple distilled from heavily peated malted barley and matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and Sauternes wine casks, this cask strength edition retains maximum flavour and character without dilution. The wine casks lend a subtle fruitiness that complements the smoky core.

Perfect For:
Sipping by the fire on a stormy night, sharing with friends who crave bold, smoky flavours, or pairing with rich, smoky barbecue.

Expert Notes:
Celebrated for pushing the boundaries of Irish whiskey, the Blackpitts Big Smoke shows that peat and Irish smoothness can coexist brilliantly, especially at cask strength for an unfiltered, full-bodied punch.

Customer Reviews:
“A peat monster with an Irish accent, love it!”   Patrick F.
“Not for the faint-hearted, but absolutely rewarding.”   George M.
“Sweet smoke heaven in a glass.”   Liza R.

Interesting Fact:
While most Irish whiskey is known for being unpeated, Teeling uses smoke from burning peat to dry the malt, a nod to ancient traditions that have all but vanished in Ireland.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy neat for full intensity, or add a drop of water to open up layers of fruit beneath the smoke.

Teeling Distillery, established in 2015 in the heart of Dublin’s Liberties, revives the city’s whiskey making heritage with a modern, boundary pushing approach. Blackpitts is their tribute to a forgotten part of Dublin’s whiskey story, brought to life in bold, smoky style.
