Teeling Single Grain

This review is from a small 5cl bottling as part of a tasting set. I normally don't blog or write reviews on small bottles but there isn't much on here on so I though I would start it going.

The Teeling Whiskey Co. mission is to challenge the norm by creating alternative Irish whiskeys with greater depth of personality and character than the current mass-market options.

Double distilled from maize and full matured in Californian Cabarnet Sauvignon casks.

Nose: warm and soft. butter, vanilla and ripe fruits. Spicy wafts.

Palate: Spices, warmly soft, creamy, buttery, caramel fudge.

Finish: medium long with creamy spicy tang.

A friend told me this would be an ideal bottle to introduce someone to grain Whisky and I must agree.
