The second chapter in Teeling’s Brabazon saga dives deeper into the art of fortified wine cask maturation. Series 02 captures the opulence of Port-cask finishing, weaving rich fruit with velvety spice in a dram that speaks more like a dessert wine than a traditional whiskey. It’s Ireland’s history told through Lisbon’s sweetness.

Teeling Brabazon Bottling Series 02 70cl
Brand: Teeling | Category: Irish Whiskey | ABV: 49.5% | Origin: Dublin, Ireland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Bursting with red berries, plums, and dried figs, it smells like walking past a wine cellar with a box of raisins in hand.
Palate: Full bodied and jammy, dark fruits, spiced cherries, cocoa, and a whisper of leather dance across the tongue.
Finish: Long, indulgent, and slightly tannic, with a lingering note of blackcurrant and nutmeg.

Production Details
Series 02 is built on the foundation of Teeling’s malt whiskey, but what makes it special is the exclusive maturation in ex-Port pipes. These casks are sourced from a family run Portuguese winery and impart deep fruit and complexity. Bottled non-chill filtered and at nearly 50%, it keeps the richness intact.

Perfect For
Ideal for slow sipping after dinner, with blue cheese, dark chocolate, or nothing at all. It’s a contemplative whiskey, perfect for moments of quiet indulgence or sharing a rare pour with close company.

Expert Notes
Teeling’s Brabazon Series has earned acclaim for pushing the envelope of traditional Irish whiskey. Series 02 in particular has been praised for its dessert-like qualities and sophisticated layering, drawing comparisons to fine Ruby Port.

Serving Suggestions
Best enjoyed neat in a tulip glass to capture the full spectrum of aromas. Add a drop or two of water to soften the Port grip and reveal softer caramel and citrus notes underneath.
