What I should have been writing about is their actually new, just released, single cask, single malt Teeling. It was double-distilled in 2007 and matured in an ex-bourbon cask until 2014. Mareike Spitzer, the company founder, selected the cask herself.
324 bottles have been produced, at 46%, without chill-filtering or colouring. It sells for €49.
