Teeling 24 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Teeling · Cooley Distillery / Teeling Whiskey Company
At 24 years, Irish single malt can lose its nerve or its balance. This one retains both. The extended maturation has polished every edge into a seamless whole, and the non-chill-filtered bottling preserves texture. A rare expression worth seeking out.
Nose
Rich dried fruit and honeycomb open the nose, followed by toasted almond and a soft clove spice. There's a subtle earthy quality beneath, grounding the sweetness.
Palate
Dense and enveloping, with cocoa, caramel, and vanilla leading into orange peel and nut. The wood is deeply integrated — you taste age without tasting tannin. A faint smoky undercurrent adds complexity.
Finish
Exceptionally long, with dried fruit, dark cocoa, and a lingering warmth that slowly fades to clean malt.

Kilbeggan Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Peated
Kilbeggan
This bottling from one of Ireland's oldest distilleries proves that peat need not be an Islay monopoly. The flame here is Irish turf — softer, earthier, more herbaceous than Scottish peat — and it plays beautifully against the pot still's inherent oiliness. An underrated expression that deserves wider attention.
Waterford Sheestown Edition 8.1 Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Waterford
Waterford's single farm origin concept makes the barrel's influence a controlled variable, letting the barley itself speak. This Sheestown edition shows how terroir and restrained oak maturation can produce a whiskey of elegant precision. It's intellectual without being austere.
Midleton Dair Ghaelach Bluebell Forest Tree No. 4
Midleton
Midleton's Dair Ghaelach series is a masterclass in how maturation vessel transforms spirit. Tree No. 4 from Bluebell Forest showcases the furnace-like intensity of virgin Irish oak tamed by the decades-long patience of pot still maturation. At cask strength, it's a riveting study in heat shaped by time—bold, complex, and unmistakably Irish.
Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Teeling
Teeling's Blackpitts is a reminder that Irish whiskey and peat were once inseparable. The triple-distilled spirit softens the smoke into something nuanced and approachable. Named after the area of Dublin where malt was historically dried over peat fires, this is a history lesson in a glass.
