About this SPIRIT
Teeling Distillery
Initially starting out as an independent bottler, Walter Teeling founded Teeling distillery in 1782, located on Marrowbone Lane in Dublin, Ireland. A family Irish whiskey business through and through, John Teeling founded Cooley Distillery in 1987. It was the first new Irish whiskey distillery to open in 100 years.
Today, Teeling Whiskey Distillery is open for business in New Market in Dublin, and is the intention of Jack and Steven Teeling to ensure a constant supply of high quality Irish whiskey.
When is a wine ready to drink?
We provide drinking windows for all our wines. Alongside the drinking windows there is a bottle icon and a maturity stage. Bear in mind that the best time to drink a wine does also depend on your taste.
Not ready
These wines are very young. Whilst they're likely to have lots of intense flavours, their acidity or tannins may make them feel austere. Although it isn't "wrong" to drink these wines now, you are likely to miss out on a lot of complexity by not waiting for them to mature.
Ready - youthful
These wines are likely to have plenty of fruit flavours still and, for red wines, the tannins may well be quite noticeable. For those who prefer younger, fruitier wines, or if serving alongside a robust meal, these will be very enjoyable. If you choose to hold onto these wines, the fruit flavours will evolve into more savoury complexity.
Ready - at best
These wines are likely to have a beautiful balance of fruit, spice and savoury flavours. The acidity and tannins will have softened somewhat, and the wines will show plenty of complexity. For many, this is seen as the ideal time to drink and enjoy these wines. If you choose to hold onto these wines, they will become more savoury but not necessarily more complex.
Ready - mature
These wines are likely to have plenty of complexity, but the fruit flavours will have been almost completely replaced by savoury and spice notes. These wines may have a beautiful texture at this stage of maturity. There is lots to enjoy when drinking wines at this stage. Most of these wines will hold in this window for a few years, though at the very end of this drinking window, wines start to lose complexity and decline.

Irish whiskey, as seen through the lens of Teeling Distillery, continues to go from strength to strength, especially when they fashion spirits of such elegance as this 21-year-old. After 16 years in ex-Bourbon barrels, this whiskey is finished in the exceedingly rare Portuguese White Port cask, Carcavelos. The influence of this is striking. Tropical flavours with a subtle framework of caramel sweetness lead on this whiskey, with green apples and banana bread aromas.
There’s a huge amount of energy and vibrancy on the palate. Citrus fruit spice with delicate tannins leaves your mouth fuzzy and warm, and a long finish punctuated by passionfruit adds joy and intrigue. For me, the balance of this whiskey is the most impressive thing and worth experiencing for yourself.
