Teeling 30 Year Old Single Malt is an Irish whiskey with quiet dignity: a bottling that brings together three decades of maturation with the vibrant signature for which Teeling is known. Distilled in 1991 and bottled at 46.0%, this single malt demonstrates how elegantly age and Irish smoothness can enhance each other without sacrificing character.
Teeling has played an important role in the revival of Irish whiskey in Dublin, with a clear preference for characterful maturations and a modern, open-minded approach to cask usage. This 30-year-old expression was matured in bourbon casks and then married in Sauternes wine casks, a combination that gives the whiskey extra depth and roundness without overshadowing its original style.
The bottling was released in an edition of only 500 bottles and is natural in colour and non-chill filtered. This underlines the pure character of this release: a whiskey that has not been smoothed over, but is allowed to naturally display its texture and mature intensity.
For lovers of old Irish single malt, this is a special bottle, not only because of its age and limited availability, but especially because of the balance between refinement, the influence of maturation, and Teeling's recognisable sense of layering.
