Teeling 12 Year Old Single Malt Single Cask #29588 Ximenez Spinola Cask

This whiskey is the forgotten exclusive release for the Celtic Whiskey Shop that was nearly lost!

Bottled in 2021 but only released in late 2023, it lay forgotten in the darkest depths of a warehouse before being rescued and released just in time for Christmas 2023.

This perfect example of a Sherry cask matured whiskey has been finished in a very special Pedro Ximenez cask sourced from Ximenez Spinola, one of the finest producers of PX Sherry. In fact they only grow and bottle the Pedro Ximenez grapes, making a variety of styles but most famously the traditional sweet and sticky variety. The Sherry cask has brought lots of richness and warmth to the whiskey with flavours of chocolate, dates, prunes and other raisined fruits.

Very limited in number and bottled at natural cask strength of 57.2%

FAQs

How to drink Irish Whiskey?

Irish whiskey is most honestly assessed neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, where the full aromatic profile can develop. Adding a few drops of room temperature water to a pot still or single malt expression above 46% ABV opens the ester character and integrates the oak. Over a large ice sphere it becomes a more contemplative drink that evolves as the temperature rises. Avoid adding ice to aged or premium expressions: the cold contracts the spirit and suppresses the complexity you paid for.

Is Irish whiskey gluten free?

Yes. Irish whiskey is distilled from a grain mash, typically malted barley with or without unmalted barley, grain, or corn, and the distillation process removes gluten proteins to below detectable levels. All major Irish whiskey producers including Irish Distillers, Midleton, Teeling, and Bushmills consider their products gluten free under current food safety standards. Individuals with clinically confirmed coeliac disease should consult their medical advisor before consuming any grain distilled spirit.

What is a good Irish whiskey?

The most consistently excellent Irish whiskeys across price points are Redbreast 12 Year Old as the benchmark single pot still, Yellow Spot 12 Year Old for sherry cask complexity, Midleton Very Rare for aged prestige, and Teeling Single Grain as an underrated value option. For under €40, Powers Gold Label and Jameson 18 Year Old represent excellent value for their respective categories. The single pot still style using both malted and unmalted barley is Ireland's most distinctive and most rewarding contribution to world whiskey.

What is Irish whiskey?

Irish whiskey is a legally defined spirit produced on the island of Ireland from a yeast fermented grain mash, distilled to under 94.8% ABV, and matured for a minimum of three years in wooden casks on the island of Ireland. The five recognised styles are single malt, single grain, single pot still, blended, and blended malt. Triple distillation, used by the majority of Irish producers, and the use of a proportion of unmalted barley in the single pot still style are the defining technical characteristics of the category.
