Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for an Irish whiskey that breaks all the rules while honoring tradition?

Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt represents a bold revival in Irish whiskey making. This groundbreaking expression marks Teeling’s first peated whiskey, challenging the notion that only Scottish distilleries can master smoke. Triple-distilled in Dublin using barley peated to 55ppm, this innovative spirit bridges the gap between Irish smoothness and peated complexity. Unlike the intense smoke bombs from Scotland, this offers a more refined approach that pairs beautifully with other smoky expressions like BenRiach or Big Peat Islay blends.

**Technical Specifications:**
• Distillery: Teeling – Dublin’s first new distillery in over 125 years (founded 2012)
• Region: Dublin, Ireland – triple distillation tradition with modern innovation
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for sipping neat or with a splash of water
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Ex-bourbon and ex-Sauternes wine casks for complexity
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals subtle peat smoke dancing with tropical pineapple, mango, and honey. Palate delivers smooth smokiness balanced by butterscotch, citrus, and orchard fruits. Finish lingers with gentle smoke, caramel, and grassy notes
• Best Served: Neat at room temperature in a Glencairn glass

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has found this expression offers exceptional balance between smoke and sweetness – far more approachable than traditional Islay malts. The innovative use of Sauternes casks adds a unique fruity dimension rarely found in peated whiskies.

Ideal for: Whiskey enthusiasts ready to explore peated Irish expressions, collectors seeking innovative bottles.
