Irish Whiskey distiller, Teeling, has announced the second release in its Wonders of Wood (WOW) series of Single Pot Still, limited edition bottlings.
Known for its unique and interesting expressions of Irish whiskey, Teelings is continuing its mission to push the boundaries of flavour by utilising unique styles of wood for maturation.
Matured in virgin Portuguese oak barrels, the second edition of the WOW bottlings consists of Single Pot Still crafted from a recipe of 50% malted barley and 50% un-malted barley.
With a higher tannin content than other oak variants normally used in the Whiskey industry, the virgin Portuguese oak barrels produce a distinct savoury marmalade flavour with warming hints of tobacco and pepper.
As part of Teeling’s mission to give back to its local community, each bottle of Wonders of Wood purchased will facilitate the brand to work with the Tree Council of Ireland in the reforestation of a designated woodland area with exclusively native Irish trees.
“Wood is an amazing, sustainable and environmentally friendly material that plays a huge role in developing the flavour and character of a whiskey as it matures,” explained Jack Teeling, Founder and Managing Director of Teeling Whiskey. “We are truly in wonder of the role wood has in crafting our Teeling Whiskeys as well as its impact on the wider environment, so as part of our new series, we wanted to do our part in helping the replanting of our native Irish forests.
“Single Pot Still is uniquely Irish and is perhaps the fastest-growing style of Irish whiskey in the world,’ Teeling continued. “Teeling Whiskey is very proud to be at the forefront of expanding the offering within this unique category of Irish whiskey and helping it evolve through world-class releases such as our Wonders of Wood series.”
