Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey was inspired by the historic Blackpitts area in the Liberties, Dublin, this Peated Single Malt uses smoke from peat to dry the barley during the malting process, resulting in a distinctive smokey taste profile.
However, what makes Teeling Blackpitts so unique is the triple distillation process, which reduces some of the medicinal character you would get from a traditional Scottish Peated Single Malt and allows the more barbeque smoke characteristic to shine. This is then combined with signature Teeling innovative cask maturation using both ex-bourbon and ex-Sauternes white wine casks, which is bottled at 46% with no chill filtration to produce a truly different and unique expression of Teeling and Irish Whiskey.
The inspiration for the use of these casks came from a previous bottling of Teeling 24-Year-Old Single Malt which was honored as the “World’s Best Single Malt” in 2019 at the World Whiskies Awards.
