Finished in Sauternes casks Teeling Whiskey Co. TASTING NOTE: Whoosh! Jack Teeling's first golden arrow is this weird and wacky whiskey. Have you every heard Jane's Addiction? This is to conventional whiskey what that band was to conventional rock. Finished in Sauternes casks, it's like nothing you've tasted from Ireland. All the Irish characteristics are there, but they're bent and twisted and put together in a new and exhilarating order. I wasn't sure at first. Now I'm begging for a refill, just to make sure it all really happened. Score - 91 (Dave Broom, Whisky Advocate, Summer 2013) |
