Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey

To continue my review on the Irish Whisky bandwagon. While I have yet to pull the trigger on say a Redbreast or yellow spot/green spot, which I’m sure are in a class of their own, this is a nice easy drinking pleasant whisky. It’s fairly straightforward and not incredibly complex, but what what it does it does well. What I really like is the creamy mouth coating sweet spice I get on the palate. The finish is shorter than I’d like but for sure this is a good whisky to enjoy.

I definitely get the rum notes, but it's not overpowering - I feel like there is a faint banana taste. The whiskey is slightly sweet with some decent burn, with some dry wood and alcohol in the finish. I was expecting a maltier, more grain influenced flavor, which is what I was hoping for. Grain is definitely there, but I feel like it's more in the background. Definitely drinkable, but I don't think that it's exceptional. I feel like I could get more out of a scotch at the same price point. A bit of mint in the finish.

Nicim nezaujala, zly zaver.
