Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Description

Aroma

The initial whiff of Teeling Blackpitts Peated offers a delightful interplay between smoke and sweetness. Prominent notes of barbecue smoke hit you first, a pleasant smokiness that reminds you of a summer cookout. This smoky character is quickly joined by the warmth of cloves, adding a touch of spice and complexity. As you delve deeper, a wave of sweetness emerges. Imagine a swirl of butterscotch candy and a hint of fresh orange peel, providing a welcome contrast to the smokiness.

Palate

The first sip takes you on a journey through a bonfire. The initial taste is dominated by the embers of a bonfire, a smoky warmth that lingers on the tongue. However, this smokiness is beautifully balanced by unexpected flavors. Hints of dark chocolate emerge, adding a touch of richness and depth. Alongside the chocolate, you might detect notes of green pears, a surprising burst of freshness that cuts through the smoke and keeps the palate engaged. Don’t miss the subtle touch of meaty malt, a reminder of the barley used in the whiskey’s creation, adding a layer of earthy complexity.

Finish

The finish of Teeling Blackpitts Peated is a delightful interplay between sweet and savory notes. As the initial smokiness fades, lingering notes of plum and apple emerge, offering a touch of juicy sweetness. These fruity notes are then complemented by a touch of peppery oak, a subtle dryness that adds a touch of sophistication and ensures the finish isn’t cloyingly sweet. The peppery element might linger slightly, leaving a pleasant tingle on the tongue.
