Tasting Notes:
- Eye: Straw yellow.
- Nose: Barbecue smoke and cloves intermingled with fresh notes of butterscotch and orange peel.
- Taste: Fascinating blend of applewood smoke, honey, and all spice are married with stewed pears and fresh grilled pineapple.
- Finish: Finishes with the return of a savory smoke over a lingering wood undertone, which combines delightfully with notes of salted caramel.
Additional Notes:
- Smoke from peat is used to dry the barley during the malting process, the resulting peated malt produces a distinctive smoky taste profile which is signature of a peated single malt.
- What makes Teeling Blackpitts so unique is the triple distillation process, which reduces some of the medicinal character you would get from a traditional Scottish Peated Single Malt and allows the more barbecue smoke characteristic to shine. This is then combined with signature Teeling innovative cask maturation using both ex-bourbon and ex-Sauternes white wine casks.
- ABV: 46%
