Teeling Single Malt is the five-leaf clover of Irish Whiskeys.
Jack and Stephen Teeling founded the Teeling Distillery in 2015 in The Liberties section of Dublin. Their father John built the Cooley Distillery in County Louth thirty years earlier, and their great-great grandfather Walter Teeling had built a distillery two hundred years before that. So to say that Irish Whiskey is in the blood is to understate things a bit. And all that family experience has not gone to waste — their Whiskeys are all highly rated and even after only two years they export their line of seven Irish Spirits to 55 countries.
If three-leaf clovers are average and four-leaf clovers are lucky, then Teeling Single Malt is the five-leaf clover of Irish Whiskeys. That’s because this little gem is a vatted mix of their triple-distilled single malt Whiskey aged in five different Wine cask types: Sherry, Port Madeira, White Burgundy, and Cabernet Sauvignon. And the blokes at Teeling want you to be able to taste it properly too, so they bottle this Irish Spirit at 46% ABV without any chill filtration. That’s why it was voted "Best Irish Single Malt" at the 2017 World Whiskies Awards and why all the other drams are green with envy.

Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Bland Irish, reminiscent of weak scotch. The honey notes are so light they fade into mineralic notes. Money is best spent elsewhere.
MARK,
Interesting for Irish whiskey, very warming,
Benjamin,
Great alternative to the more popular and better known brand.
Joe,
Funky passion fruit and pumpernickel crackers. Has some character. Mild heat.
James,
I got a big whiff of malt on the nose with some dried cherry. Tastes about the same with some sweetness that turns a little spicy at the end. Decent
Mac,
Tasty on its own. Amazing for the price.
Aaron,
It's fine. It has a decent amount of subtle flavors but most of those are covered by spices and typical iron flavor Irish whiskey has. Not worth the price in my opinion.
Noah,
I really am enjoying this single malt Irish Whiskey. It's got a great smooth finish.
Karan,
A great single malt Irish! A little "Irish" rough at first but then ends on a citrus/ fruity note. I really liked it and would highly recommend!
Jordan,
Beautiful very fruity taste with a smooth finish.
Everardo,
I liked it but more importantly my wife loved it. She said it was tasty and smooth.
Mark,
Single Malt Irish Whiskey. 'nuff said.
Noah,
Loved this and it was unexpected as I’m not familiar with Irish Whiskey. Had a nice subtle fruitiness and some spice
Ivan,
So so... haven't found an Irish Whiskey that I love and this wasn't it either, but definitely smoother than most I've tried so far.
Christopher,
It's hard to say if I loved loved it or not. I've been so turned off by the more popular names in Irish whiskey. There are few positive notes in this bottle that reminded me of what I was missing.
The potency is right in line with my tastes. Stopping at 80 proof just doesn't interest me anymore. It has a nice bite that isn't over powering. It had a surprising ashy finish that didn't linger. It's exactly what I would expect.
Oskari,
The cherry is evident, pleasing and easy to drink, I really like it. It seems that you either really like it, or it isn’t your style at all. If you like sweet scotches and the flavour of cherry, then this just might be to your liking.
Michael,
Sweeter than expected. Does not hold up well to other Irish whiskeys. Might need a little more aging.
Emily,
Spicy, didn’t open up well with a little water, just cut the spice but also the flavor.
Michael,
Especially good with an ice cube or a splash of water.
Sarah,
Very good.. Sweeter than expected but not overpoweringly so. Finished with a hint of peet or oak, but also not overpowering or unpleasantly so. New default Irish Whiskey for sure!
Alex,
Very good, classic Irish whiskey. First sip I thought it would be light but it finished pretty long. Quite a crisp slightly sweet taste with a hint of smokey spice towards the back end. Very smooth.
Kathleen,
Very much liked, it was very smooth and a hint of vanilla which I enjoy
Michael,
Better than the Small Batch but not where it should be. Great wine influence and not a bad whiskey at all. Quite dry finish with a lingering aftertaste.
George,
very smooth
Keegan,
By far one of my favorites. Had this from the Distillery in Dublin Ireland and have loved it since.
Richard,
Extremely flavorful. One of my favorite Irish Whiskies for sure.
Antonio,
Taste to much like Scotch for me, I guess I'm used to the sweeter tasting other Irish Wiskeys
Jennifer,
Sweet, smooth and delicious
Thomas,
I had no idea that there was single malt Irish whisky. This was very smooth and excellent tasting.
Mike,
Nice and smooth.
Matthew,
Much better than Small Batch, not quite as good as Single Grain. An excellent malted barley similar to Scotch for sipping neat or on the rocks.

Darrell,
Too bright, did not have a smooth finish nor a nice after taste
guest,
Too sweet
Josh,
THis is a fine irish, but not much complexity, just easy and smooth.
Steve,
Not my favorite, too harsh to drink straight or on the rocks, much better with ginger ale.
Connor,
Everything. As a beer brewer, the malts that go into this whiskey are fantastic! Great aroma, incredible flavor, heavenly drink.
Jason,
Really love it.
Rick,
I enjoy all Teeling products I've tried. This one has become an absolute favorite. It is so very smooth with incredible flavor. So glad this has landed in my home bar!
Brendan,
My go to!! A little spice with a back end of caramel. An excellent Irish Whiskey
Tim,
A delightful whiskey. This is an orange creamsicle in a park on a sunny day. It’s approachable and friendly but not at all boring. An occasional hint of anise? Maybe? Maybe not? Light and springy with a sweet center. Nothing at all to complain about. Cheers
Nathaniel,
A nice easy to drink solid irish, notes of honey and clove, and slight fruitiness.
Scott,
Teeling does it again. Can't go wrong with them. Delightfully smooth. Interesting complexity.
Geoff,
Extremely smooth and easy to drink. For an Irish whiskey, this is one of the most well rounded without losing that Irish character.
Roy,
Great Malt, smooth but on the sweet side for my liking
Gordon,
found this quite drinkable & typical Irish without adverse after taste. Must have been good, all gone.
guest,
Too sharp for irish whiskey! Tastes better when alc-level braught down to 35% with a bit water!
