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
The nose is rich with hints of dark chocolate, truffles, sour apples and the zest of ocean spray. On the palate sweet malt, rounded barley, sour fruits and black cherry mingle and lead to a full and harmonious finish of Seville oranges, digestive biscuits, honeycomb and cream.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
Teeling and Galway Bay Brewery - one of Ireland's most celebrated independent craft breweries - have been collaborating for years on what has become the cult classic 'Two Hundred Fathoms'. This modern interpretation of an Imperial Stout is aged just once annually in small batch barrels from the distillery - inevitable perhaps that one day the collaboration would travel full circle with Teeling taking back the stout-seasoned barrels to finish a whiskey with their rich, dark, malty influence.
