Teeling Whisky Company has released the “Birthday Batch,” a unique blend of its oldest single malt and pot still whiskies. This special edition honors a decade of innovation and craftsmanship at Dublin’s first new distillery in 125 years.
Flavor Profile and Maturation
The whisky is aged in bourbon barrels, bringing together rich and complex flavors. From the malt whisky, expect orchard fruit, caramel, and butterscotch notes. The pot still whisky adds peppery spice and green apple oil, balanced by tropical hints of melon and guava.
Alcohol Content and Price
The Birthday Batch has an ABV of 46%. It is available for purchase on the Teeling distillery’s website for €100.10 (about $115).
Giving Back to the Community
All profits from the Birthday Batch sales will be donated to local Dublin charities, supporting the community that helped the distillery thrive.
Reflecting on a Decade of Success
Jack Teeling, founder of Teeling Whisky Company, shared his pride in the brand’s achievements. “Revitalising the craft of Dublin whisky has been no easy task,” he said. “But through passion, innovation and a relentless focus on quality, Teeling has firmly established itself as one of the world’s leading whisky brands and visitor attractions.”
