Teeling Single Grain Whiskey

Tough nut to crack... reminds me of a crême brulée: vanilla bean, a pleasant burntness, caramel. It's nice, and surprisingly sweet. I do however recommend allowing it to decant in the class for a couple of minutes, which is something I rarely do - the alcohol has a way of negatively competing with this soft whiskey. The subtle charred oak character comes out towards the finish. Very nice!

My favorite of the Teeling offerings, I love the light floral and honeyed nose which keeps me going back for another sniff. The sweetness continues on the palette with a bit of a buttery vanilla aspect. A little thin and could be more rich, but the finish is pleasantly warm and lingering. One of my favorite Irish whiskeys!

Nose has moderate alcohol. Sweet and full on the pallet. Long lingering finish, comfortable burn. Tasty, but not very complex.
