Teeling Blackpitts is the first peated Irish whiskey distilled in Dublin at Teeling's new distillery. It's triple-distilled using peated barley from Glenesk in Speyside and aged in ex-Bourbon and ex-Sauternes French wine casks. Bottled at 92 proof without chill filtration, it pays homage to the historic Blackpitts area behind the distillery, known for its malting houses.
Extremely gentle-handed with the peat, it may be the least peaty peated whiskey I’ve ever encountered. That’s not a slam but an eye-opening compliment, as I had no clue a peated whiskey could turn out this gentle and refined.
