Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Teeling · Teeling Whiskey Distillery
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.
Kit Aromas
Nose
Smoldering peat smoke tempered by honeyed malt and a sweetness of dried fruit. Underneath, a subtle floral note and toasted almond add complexity.
Palate
The smoky character is balanced and elegant, weaving through a core of caramel and vanilla. Midpalate brings earthy tones and a gentle clove spice, with a surprising creaminess.
Finish
Long and smoky with lingering honey and a dry, woody close that recalls smoldering embers.

Teeling Stout Cask Finish Small Batch Irish Whiskey

Teeling's stout cask finish is an exercise in creative abrasion — the roasted, bitter character of Irish stout barrels pushes against the spirit's natural sweetness, creating tension that resolves beautifully. It's a Dublin dram with real backbone.
Teeling Brabazon Bottling Series 04 Muscat Casks
Teeling
The Brabazon Series is Teeling's exploration of wine cask finishing, and this Muscat expression is the most harmonious yet. The dessert wine casks could easily overwhelm, but the distillery's spirit is robust enough to absorb the influence and come out more complex for it. A rewarding pour for anyone who thinks Irish whiskey can't do bold.
Teeling Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Teeling
Teeling's Single Malt is a showcase for creative cask management. The five wine cask finishes could easily result in chaos, but instead they produce a harmonious, fruit-forward whiskey that retains grain character. Bottled at 46% without chill filtration, it's honest and well-made.
Powers Irish Whiskey
Powers
Powers has long been the bartender's whiskey in Ireland, and for good reason—its pot still backbone gives it a muscularity and directness that belies its modest price. It's a whiskey where the mark of tradition is seared into every sip, a fitting emblem of how char and character become inseparable.
The Dublin Liberties Murder Lane 13 Year Old Irish Whiskey
The Dublin Liberties
Murder Lane 13 Year Old is a brooding, contemplative Irish single malt that trades the category's typical brightness for smoldering depth. The extended maturation has produced a whiskey of genuine complexity, with dark fruit and wood spice in beautiful balance. It's the kind of dram that asks you to sit quietly and simply feel its warmth — words can wait.
The Quiet Man Traditional Irish Whiskey Bourbon Cask Matured
The Quiet Man
The Quiet Man lives up to its name with a whiskey that values restraint over spectacle.

An ideal daily pour that rewards attentive, unhurried sipping.
Keeper's Heart Irish + Bourbon Cask Strength
Keeper's Heart
Keeper's Heart Cask Strength is a fascinating study in how air and atmosphere shape whiskey — Irish pot still softness meets American bourbon boldness at full power, and the marriage breathes new character into both traditions. The higher proof rewards a splash of water, which opens up delicate floral and fruity notes hidden beneath the oak. A compelling conversation-starter that earns its place alongside more established names.
