Background & production
A blended Irish whiskey from the Teeling Whiskey Company in Dublin. Hand-selected grain and malt whiskeys are aged in ex-bourbon casks for up to six years, then married for more than six months in Central American rum casks.
The rum casks add a distinctive dried-fruit sweetness. It is bottled at 46% — higher than most blends — and is not chill filtered.
