Teeling Revival 15 Year

This item is archived.

This 15 year old limited edition Irish single malt was distilled in 1999, matured in Ex-Rum casks and bottled at 46%. Only 100 bottles are coming to Alberta, no word on the rest of Canada, and we'll be getting our paws on just 24 of them! The whisky has been released to mark the opening of the Teeling Distillery in Dublin, the first new distillery in the city in 125 years, and the only one currently operating. It was a huge hit at our Irish Whiskey tasting last week. We've already sold 16 of the 24 bottles we'll be getting!

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: soft floral notes, light caramel chews, clotted cream on warm scones and citrus zest: lemon, lime and orange; a gentle maltiness with white fruits and the promise of spices.

Palate: creamy, sweet and still floral with lots of citrus; lovely sugars, more clotted cream on warm scones and floral notes with silky buttery oak; gentle spices at first too subtle for the nose build on the palate becoming darker and more prominent with Demerara sugars;  the white fruits are still there with a bit of cooked pineapple and mango.

Finish: medium long, creamy and smooth with fading spices, oak and fruits.

Comment: dangerously drinkable spring dram, both refreshing but with the ability to warm you up a smidge if the day starts off with a chill!
