Teeling Single Pot Still Batch 3
Single Pot Still — Ireland
Reviewed April 13, 2020 (edited April 15, 2020)Nose: Grain silo. Hay. A hint of burnt oak. Minerally, like hot sand blowing around a beach. A hint of butter and canteloupe. After a few drops of water vanilla and spiced scones come through that were previously hiding. Palate: Oak, raw grain, and cream. Again, a bit of sweetness, spice, and vanilla but only after adding some water. Very soft and pleasant, almost effervescent. Finish: Slow build, medium length. More oak and vanilla and cream, with some black pepper. Slightly minerally/metallic50.0 USD per Bottle -
Scotch newbie trying his first cognac N: sour citrus, predominantly lemon, and overripe green grapes, with a slight undercurrent of sugar just on the edge of burning. If you've ever tried to deglaze a pan with lemon juice and accidentally let the lemon juice go just a bit too far, that plus the grapes. Definitely boozy, but not it a bad way. P: extremely smooth. Extremely light. Surprisingly little flavor given the strong smell. I would believe this was 25% abv if I didn't know what it was. Caramelized sugar with hints of fresh grape and citrus, and maybe a little fresh cut grass. Not much else. Finish: slick. Most of the flavor dissipates immediately but the caramelized sugars last a minute or so

Nose: Brown sugar, spice, and honey roasted peanuts. Palate: raisins from the port barrels, with more brown sugar and spice, and some vanilla wafers. moderate sweetness. a little heat finish: warm spice, moderate length Absolutely nothing wrong with this bourbon, but its a little steep at $50. would gladly pay $40 but unless I start making more money it might be a rare buy.49.99 USD per Bottle

n: peat, sulfur, burning tires and bandaids. deep beneath that cigar smoke, leather, hay, and sharpies. p: surprising sweetness up front, and smoke from burning seaweed. mushroom-like umami quality that literally makes my mouth water.

Nose: vanilla, honey. Bits of cloves and black pepper and apples. A little bit of smoke, but also some acetone and rubbing alcohol. Taste: mostly oak and vanilla. Some sweetness, moreso if you let it open up for 10 minutes. Not as comlex as I expected based on reviews. Finish: oak and heat. Could definitely use some more time in the barrel.30.0 USD per Bottle
