Detailed DescriptionBrabazon Volume 1 focuses on sherry cask maturation and consists of a range of carefully selected sherry cask aged whiskeys producing a full flavoured sherry influenced Irish Single Malt. This bottling consists of a vatting of 6 different sherry casks, carefully chosen for their complementary character. Brabazon is named after Lord Brabazon the 3rd Earl of Meath who was responsible for the development of the Newmarket Square area where the Teeling brothers built their new distillery. The historic Liberties area would become the centre of distilling and brewing in Dublin from the 17th to early 20th century. That tradition has returned with the possibility of at least four distilleries operating in the Liberties in the near future. Teeling Vintage Reserve Collection Single Cask 28 Year Old Irish Whiskey Tasting NotesTeeling Brabazon Bottling Series 1 Single Irish Malt Whiskey Tasting NotesNose: A nice touch of oloroso sherry is immediately evident reminding us of Glenfarclas 105 (and that definitely a good thing!) A glorious mix of caramel chocolates, salted meats, anejo tequila, dried citrus fruits, dates and walnuts.Palate: Mouth-filling and chewy but not cloying like some overly sherried whiskeys. More of the salty, sherry tang promised on the nose. Hints of chocolate, cured meats, toasted oak, leather, dried orange peel, perhaps a touch of wood smoke (not peat smoke), incense, spice, cinnamon and ginger. Marked by spicy, chewy, fruity flavours that hide the 49.5% alcohol very well.Finish: Lingering mixed spice.Distillery InformationTeeling Distillery is an Irish whiskey distillery established in Dublin in 2015. It is the first new whiskey distillery to have opened in Dublin, once a world whiskey distilling capital, in over 125 years.
