Teeling Sommelier Selection Douro Old Vines Whiskey

Teeling Sommelier Selection Douro Old Vines Whisky is a unique and limited-edition Irish single malt that showcases the innovative spirit of the Teeling distillery through exceptional cask finishing. This expression is initially aged in ex-Bourbon barrels before undergoing a secondary maturation in casks that previously held wine made from Old Vines in Portugal’s Douro Valley. This finishing process imparts a profound complexity, layering rich, dark fruit notes—such as fig, plum, and black cherry—with the classic Teeling character of orchard fruit and spice. Expect a velvety texture, with pronounced tannins and a warming spice that speaks to the Douro wine influence. Bottled at a higher strength to preserve its integrity, this selection offers a sophisticated and memorable tasting experience for collectors and connoisseurs.
