| Review #583 |
This is the third release in the Revival series, that celebrates the
revival of whiskey distilling in Dublin. It is matured in ex-Bourbon barrels
and then finished in Pineau des Charentes (a fortified wine made from grape
must and Eau-de-vie) casks. White fruits, grape sweetness and light citrusy
notes in the smell. Some pineapple and honey sweetness in the end. Actually
kind of like a mix of Calvados and Brandy (or maybe I’m just getting confused
here).
Very sweet
at first in the taste, and the grapes comes forward again. Some pineapple
again, but here it mixes with some dried fruits. The finish is very sweet,
accompanied by raisins and prunes. Some dried apricots as well.
It is very
different from classic Irish whiskey. Very special, and it took me a couple of
sips, but I really enjoy it. In general, I think that Teeling are pretty good
at playing around with alternative casks. I will give this 83/100 (20/21/21/21).
