ABOUT THE WHISKEY
In 1782 Walter Teeling set up a small distillery on Marrowbone Lane, in heart of the Liberties district of Dublin. The perfect storm of Prohibition in the USA and the Irish Civil War forced it to close in the early 1900s. In 1987, his descendant, John Teeling, reopened the Cooley Distillery in County Louth, a bright spot of regeneration in an Irish Whiskey industry stunted by over-consolidation and declining markets. The distillery produces both malt and grain whiskeys in a variety of styles. In 2015, the current generation, Jack and Stephen Teeling, opened the first new distillery in Dublin in over 125 years, a stone’s throw from the original. Their goal is to retain the drinkability of Irish whiskey while introducing new and interesting flavours to complement that naturally smooth and sweet taste. Teeling don't chill filter their whiskey, leaving as much of the body, character and richness in the bottle as they can. Their business philosophy is also one that sees them source sustainable raw materials and implement sustainable production processes whenever and wherever possible. 

TASTING NOTES
A nose that suggests rose water, ripe cherries, cinnamon and red fruits leads to the smooth taste of summer fruit, berry jam, vanilla cream, soft orchard fruit and gentle, honeyed flavours. The finish is spicy and long with dry tannins, toasted oak and lingering, warm wood notes - a deliciously unique style of Irish whisky.

FOOD PAIRING
We suggest serving this neat – it is smooth and complex enough to be enjoyed without the dilution of ice, or even water.

FRIARWOOD SAYS
The 13 year old single grain epitomises Teeling's focus on driving the evolution of Irish whiskey. A wholly unique style using an unconventional mash bill of 95% corn and 5% malted barley that has been triple distilled and matured initially in ex-Bourbon casks before being given - and here comes a very Friarwood twist - an extra maturation for a further four years in ex-Bordeaux red wine casks.
