Teeling’s third installment in its Wonders of Wooden sequence — following Chinkapin Oak and Portuguese Oak — is right here, and the Irish distillery is popping to its most northern wooden supply but: Sweden. WOW #3 is a single pot nonetheless whiskey (as regular) that’s aged in virgin Swedish white oak. (All three whiskeys within the sequence thus far have been aged in virgin somewhat than used oak.)
We obtained a pattern and have been excited to see what the Eire-Sweden connection may convey. Let’s dig in.
The nostril is huge and burly, a way more wood-focused expression than Teeling’s customary single pot nonetheless launch. The candy honey grahams of the unique whiskey’s nostril are tempered right here by a big observe of chimney smoke and eucalyptus. A floral aspect builds with time in glass, nevertheless it’s laborious to put: elderflower, maybe, with touches of lilac.
On the palate, a smoky, wood-driven punch kicks issues off, however with time in glass this sees some tempering, permitting extra mint, chocolate, and a brilliant cherry observe to come back by means of. More and more nutty and chewy because it develops, the whiskey slides towards a viscous end that recollects molasses, walnut oil, and raisiny prunes — all tempered with a little bit of drying tannin. Hints of candy tea and a pinch of baking spice wrap all of it up.
I loved final yr’s Portuguese Oak launch extra absolutely, however this one stays one other wholly distinctive winner that’s value looking for out.
100 proof.
