Teeling Single Grain Irish Whiskey
Teeling Whiskey Company · Teeling Whiskey Distillery, Dublin, Ireland
Grain whiskey gets little respect until you taste Teeling's version. Matured in Californian Cabernet Sauvignon casks, this single grain has the silkiness of a premium spirit and the depth of a well-aged whiskey. It's the secret that every Irish blend drinker has been unknowingly appreciating for decades, now bottled on its own terms. Serve it slightly chilled, neat, to anyone who claims Irish whiskey is predictable — this changes the conversation immediately.

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.
The Dubliner 6yr Cask Strength Double Barrel Irish Whiskey
The Dubliner
This cask-strength double-barrel expression punches well above its modest price point, delivering a richness and complexity that speaks to careful cask selection. The six years of maturation provide enough oak influence to give structure without overwhelming the grain character. A perfect fireside pour as the harvest season draws to its close.

A quietly confident pour that fits perfectly into the 'earned through craft' ethos.
