Teeling Single Grain Irish Whiskey

Dublin — New Wave Irish Whiskey, Ireland
About this product
Teeling Single Grain is the expression that established Teeling's international reputation and demonstrated that Irish single grain whiskey could be as complex and acclaimed as single malt. It is made from 95% corn (maize) distilled in a column still, then finished in ex-Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks — a creative departure from the standard Irish grain whiskey style. The wine cask finish imparts red berry fruit, purple grape character, and a distinctive vinous freshness. It won 'World's Best Grain Whiskey' at the World Whisky Awards (2020) and remains the benchmark for Irish grain whiskey innovation.
