TEELING - Blackpitts - Big Smoke - 56.5%
Teeling Distillery is a whiskey distillery established in Dublin , Ireland in 2015 by the Teeling Whiskey Company. The distillery was founded by Jack and Stephen Teeling , whose father, John Teeling, had founded the Cooley Distillery in 1987. John Teeling's two sons, Jack and Stephen, worked with their father at the Cooley Distillery. When it was sold to Beam Inc. (now Beam Suntory) in 2011, Jack, then general manager, left, while his brother stayed for about a year. As part of the sale, the Teelings negotiated the purchase of 16,000 barrels of aged whiskey. Using these stocks, Jack Teeling launched Teeling Whiskey in 2012, and was later joined in the business by his brother Stephen.
Teeling Big Smoke is inspired by Dublin's nickname which refers to Poolbeg's iconic chimneys which dominate its skyline. This bottling is aged exclusively in ex-Bourbon barrels before being bottled at 56.5% without cold filtration. This creates a truly unique taste of barbecue smoke, fresh fruit and maple syrup.
