About This Whiskey

Teeling is one of Ireland's most exciting and innovative distilleries, and their limited-edition releases have garnered significant attention for pushing the boundaries of maturation and cask finishing. The Teeling Douro Old Vines Casks expression is a special bottling that showcases Teeling's commitment to experimenting with unique cask finishes. For this release, the whiskey is finished in Portuguese Douro Valley wine casks—the same casks that are used for aging Port wine, but in this case, the casks come from vines that are over 100 years old, giving the whiskey an added depth of flavor and complexity.

Tasting Notes

NOSE: The nose is immediately inviting with rich, sweet aromas. There’s a deep dark fruitiness—think of blackberries, plums, and black currants—intertwined with the familiar honeyed sweetness typical of Teeling whiskies. The wine cask influence is evident, with jammy red fruits and a touch of raisins giving it a fruity complexity. Alongside the fruit, there’s a gentle spiciness, with hints of cinnamon, vanilla, and a light oakiness. The nose is elegant and layered, with a winey sweetness that’s beautifully integrated with the smoothness of the Irish whiskey.

TASTE: On the palate, the whiskey is smooth and rich, with an initial burst of dark fruits—black cherries, dried figs, and raspberries. There’s a jammy, wine-like quality that adds a touch of sweetness, but it’s balanced by a slightly spicy warmth, with notes of cinnamon, cloves, and a subtle pepperiness. The influence of the old vine casks gives the whiskey a slightly earthy character, adding depth and complexity. The whiskey feels round and silky, with a light oak flavor that emerges towards the finish, lending a sense of structure without overwhelming the more delicate fruity notes. There’s a gentle creaminess, perhaps from the grain and distillation process, that adds to the overall smooth texture.

FINISH: The finish is medium to long, with the fruitiness lingering on the palate. The influence of the Douro wine casks remains, leaving behind a sweet and slightly tannic sensation, reminiscent of port or red wine, with a lingering note of dark chocolate and dried fruits. The spicy warmth gradually fades, leaving behind a smooth, winey sweetness that lingers on the tongue, encouraging another sip.
