Teeling reviews

I was a guest at Belgian whisky shop TastToe in Boortmeerbeek in September 2019 at a fantastic Teeling masterclass with Alex Chasko, their Master Distiller. One of the whiskies that we got to try was…

As far as I know this is the first time that Teeling finished its whiskey in an Abafado cask. Abafado is a fortified wine from Portugal, best compared to Pineau De Charentes. Hence, I’m expecting a very…

Teeling recently launched a new NAS-whiskey in their so-called Sommerlier Selection. It matured on bourbon casks before getting another 18 months in Margaux wine casks. This is a wine that can be found…
