Teeling Irish Single Malt
Nose: clean malt grain, juniper, sage...almost a hint of gin. Musty old books, chocolate, earthy white wine, sweet port. After a little time Madeira and Port take over the nose.
Palate: sugary sweet on entry with malted grain peaking out after the initial wave of grapey sweetness, white chocolate, waxy nuttiness, sweet rich notes of Madeira, peppery tickle of oak and barrel spice.
Finish: wine like, dark fruit sweetness and drying oak. The finish is quite astringent
