Teeling Single Cask Chestnut Cask

From a Drammers Club online tasting. Excellent. The Chestnut Oak aging adds pleasant caramel and chocolate sweetness with a nutty character to Teeling's signature tropical fruit notes, plus a subtle hint of blue cheese. Nose: Mango, Passion Fruit, Vanilla, Caramel, Chocolate, Hazelnuts, Cashews, Almonds, Blue Cheese, Pineapple, Honey, Coconut, Raisins, Green Apples, Walnuts, Chestnuts, Orange, Guava, Cheesecake, Mint Palate: Caramel, Chocolate, Passion Fruit, Toffee, Honey, Apricot, Raisins, Oak, Pepper, Cinnamon, Citrus, Mango Finish: Citrus, Mango, Pineapple, Caramel, Chocolate, Almonds, Hazelnuts, Passion Fruit

A deep, unusual aroma reminiscent of old writing desks sets this Teeling release apart from the typical fruity notes of its limited editions. The palate features a distinct flavor of chestnuts and mushrooms, complemented by a pleasant sweetness. The finish is long and lively. Intriguingly delicious.

Good Irish whiskey, with a nutty flavor.
