Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt
Single Malt
Teeling // Ireland
Blackpitts is the first Dublin-distilled peated single malt and just the second release for Teeling to be distilled at their newly-opened distillery. The name refers to the Blackpitts area just behind the distillery which used to be used for malting among other industries.
The single malt is triple distilled and matured in ex-bourbon and ex-Sauternes white wine barrels. It is bottled without chill-filtration at 46% ABV.

Tasting Notes
"Blackpitts lives up to its name on the nose, with peat and phenolics in the asphalt and rubber range. There are fruits lurking in the background though, with peaches, pears and melons. The palate offers creamy vanilla, heather and honey, all woven in with campfire smoke, ash, soil and leather. A moderate length finish offers toffee and black pepper with hints of menthol and tropical fruits, with final notes of cigar box and coffee grounds."
