Rising Reserve N°2 – 21yo double matured on Marsala casks

We are delighted to unveil the second bottling of the ‘Teeling Rising Reserve,’ a super-premium series of unique 21-year-old Irish single malts. The series was created to celebrate the global renaissance of Teeling, Dublin, and Irish whiskey, as it continues to be the fastest-growing premium spirit in the world. The Rising Reserve Series is a follow-up to the highly sought-after and successful Revival and Renaissance bottlings that Teeling originally released to commemorate the opening of their distillery in Dublin, marking the revival and renaissance of the tradition of ‘Dublin Distilling.’

We only have a few of this limited 21yo Teeling edition. But for those who missed out on the first release we kept some aside so you can still go for the whole series.

A Teeling opportunity

This whiskey was initially intended exclusively for the Baltic States, but we managed to secure an allocation. It is a colorful appearance, the box of this new Teeling Whiskey Baltic Porter Small batch Collaboration. But the profile is also very colorful. Here’s the thing: Teeling provided the Genys brewery with a number of barrels that had been used for Blackpitts (their peated single malt). Their Imperial Baltic Porter beer rested in this. The barrels were then refilled with Teeling Small Batch whiskey.

The profile is a harmonious balance between smoke and dried fruit, roasted malt and dark chocolate, vanilla and a warming spiciness.

This is what we dare to call craft. Limited to 3000 bottles, bottled at 46% without cold filtration and above all very tasty. This is Teeling!
