The Whiskey Reviewer A World of Whiskey, Poured Every Weekday
Dublin’s Teeling Whiskey Company has released the latest installment of its Vintage Reserve Collection, a series including some of Ireland’s oldest whiskeys, the Teeling 24 Year Old Irish Single Malt.
The Teeling 24-Year-Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey was distilled in 1991 and double matured, first in Bourbon casks, then in Sauterne wine casks producing a wholly unique taste experience. The dual maturation imparts an extra depth of fruit flavors that perfectly complement the hint of smoke derived from the inclusion of a small portion of Peated malt as part of the original ingredients used in production. This small batch bottling, limited to just 1,000 bottles, were hand bottled in unique decanters and come with their own certificate of authenticity. Recently awarded the title of ‘World’s Best Irish Single Malt’, this is a whiskey to be savored.
Jack Teeling, founder of the Teeling Whiskey Company, commented, “We are extremely proud to be able to release some of the oldest ever bottlings of Irish Single Malt with our Teeling 24-Year-Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey. This offering is central to our goal to help drive diversity in Irish whiskey by introducing interesting and unique small batch bottlings. There is nothing else like this Irish Single Malt on the market and it represents a rare piece of Irish whiskey history in each bottle.”
The Teeling 24-Year-Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey will be available in limited quantities from early December at a suggested retail price of $499.99. This unique offering is bottled at 46% alc/vol with no chill filtration, completing a whiskey of true character. It follows other very aged, super premium releases from Teeling, including the Gold Reserve 26 Year Old and the Platinum Reserve 30 Year Old.
