I was privileged to try this spectacular whisky in the company of Teeling's master distiller Alex Chasko this week. The nose is a ripe cornucopia dripping with mango, apricot jam and figs. Each sip is a concentrated juice bomb of stewed stone fruits, thick and syrupy, that lingers with a finish of more apricots. I l love the tropical and stone fruit flavors of the older Cooley whiskies bottled by Teeling and this one is among the best. Hard to put on the finger on the influence of the muscat cask from my small pour, but whatever it brings to the party is clearly welcome.
