Teeling Single Grain Whiskey

Toasted cereal, caramel and hints of white wine on the nose. Very warm and medium bodied, it delivers a pleasant taste of shortbread over the palate. The finish is relatively short and dry. This single grain doesn't pack a whole lot of flavour, but it is certainly not a bad dram. As others have suggested, letting it sit out in the glass for a few minutes helps tone down the heat and bite.

My introduction to the world of single grain whiskey and I simply love this drink! It may be finished in wine casks, but has a lot of bourbony qualities - honey, vanilla, charred oak... Lovely toasty finish that just gets better and better the more you get to know it. Can’t imagine my collection ever being without a bottle of this.

Oct 2017 Approachable and very pleasant nose - strong, oily, with vanilla to the fore. Taste is on the sweet side, not very complex from start to finish, but very friendly. My first tasting was after a curry but I had a Lagavulin 16 to cleanse the palate! On the second outing it was first drink poured and again it wasn't that complex, I felt. Nevertheless, pleasant and easy. Probably a 3.5 star rating is fair.
