Yes, the day after a multiple tasting of Islay treats, we all sat down to more whiskey the next day. Some of us had extra days off. I just wanted to take one off. So I did. However, the question always comes down to: What am I showing up with? Luckily I had one more Irish whiskey from a trip to Dublin up my sleeve.… Continue reading Teeling 13 2002 Single Cask Carcavelos
Thanks to /u/boyd86 for the sample of Teeling 21. Teeling was established recently. Very recently. And is currently running their three stills quite hard, using innovative casks, and overall being impressive. However, the question most usually have is this: “How in the heck do they have older releases?” They source their whisky. That’s really the only answer. From where? No official statement. It is from an Irish… Continue reading Teeling 21 Vintage Reserve – Silver Bottling & Teeling 26 1987 Gold Reserve
Teeling. Many people have heard about it, and I personally have written quite a bit in the past. What do we need to know though? None of this. Really, it’s all for fun and really just something I do for fun. And you read it for fun. That’s a great thing otherwise, as I’m pretty sure it stops us all from going insane and attacking… Continue reading Teeling 15 The Revival Vol. 1 & Vol. 4
Sherry casks. An entire business unto themselves, the lack of old English ladies seemingly erupting from the earth to keep drinking it, sherry makers have started making a quick version of sherry, leaving it in the cask to season them, dumping it out, and boom, you got your casks. I know that this isn’t done for all sherries. Hashtag Not All Sherries and all that.… Continue reading Teeling Brabazon Bottling Series 01
So I’m at the Teeling distillery. A year ago. And I have a choice between a few single casks they have. Two of them are fill your own bottles. That’s exciting. I want to do that. I’ve never done that. I’ve been around when someone else did that, sure, but I’ve never done it. So now I have two options (I bought the other one).… Continue reading Teeling 9 Single Cask Port Cask [Re-review]
Traveling as a whiskey fan can be quite daunting picking where you should go. You want to find those hidden gems, those amazing places that have Glencairns and great selection and good prices and maybe something interesting. Time is a commodity you don’t want to waste. Dublin. A city split in two, with two cultures on either side of the river. Tourist traps, great times, … Continue reading 7 must stops in Dublin for whiskey (Number 3 is a number!)
Recently (as in a month ago) I visited Dublin during their summer, which lasted for 6 days. Your welcome Ireland, I brought the sun. I control the weather, like a pudgier, more dick centric, and a lot more pale version of Storm. Before I get into anything else: All pictures taken were taken by my amazing wife. Please check out her flickr account here. Now … Continue reading Teeling Distillery Tour
Last review (from this trip) at Dingle Whiskey Bar. I’d go back if I could. Actually, if they want to fly me out, I’m down to do a bunch more reviews. Damn pesky ocean in the way. As I said before, the Teeling: The Revival series was created in celebration of being the first distillery to have launched in Dublin proper in 125 years. I… Continue reading Teeling 14: The Revival Vol. 3
Thanks to /u/cantbelieveyoureddit for being a great bartender. For awhile now I’ve been slowly collecting Teeling whiskies to eventually do a multi review. I have a decent amount of them. When planning for the trip, I had looked around at a lot of “Internet v.1.0” websites that directed me towards various whiskey bars in Dublin. The odd one mentioned Jameson Distillery, what with the new… Continue reading Teeling 5 part review
It’s that time of year again. St. Patrick’s Day is upon us and from now through the weekend people will be donning green attire, chugging green beer and chasing leprechauns, or something like that. As enjoyable as that is allow me to suggest one change in these annual festivities: ditch the green beer and have a glass or two of an Irish whiskey instead. If you find yourself wondering which of … Continue reading Toronto Whisky Society – St. Patrick’s Day Reviews
