Teeling 15 years old The Revival - Rum Barrels - 70cl

Teeling The Revival Volume I (15 Years Old, 46% ABV) is a milestone single malt Irish whiskey released in 2015 to celebrate a historic moment: the opening of the Teeling Whiskey Distillery in Dublin. This marked the first new commercial distillery to open in Dublin in over 125 years.
Distilled in 1999, this limited-edition release was matured exclusively for 15 full years in ex-Caribbean rum barrels. Unlike whiskies that only receive a short rum "finish," this extended 15-year slumber in tropical wood allowed the spirit to absorb immense depth, famously earning it a staggering 95 points in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible.
Maturation & Technical Specifications
• Cask Treatment: 100% matured in hand-selected Caribbean rum casks. The wood extracts a deeply decadent profile of molasses, tropical sweetness, and rich, oily sugars.
• Purity: Bottled at 46% ABV with no chill-filtration, preserving all the heavy, natural oils and esters developed over a decade and a half of aging.
• Limited Rarity: A strict limited run of only 10,000 bottles globally, making it a highly sought-after prize for collectors.
Flavor Profile & Tasting Notes
The 15-year interaction with the rum wood enhances the iconic, fruity Irish single malt DNA into something reminiscent of a liquid tropical dessert.
• Nose (Aroma): Bright, inviting, and heavily layered with rum-soaked raisins, brown sugar, and rich vanilla custard. It is balanced by vibrant summer fruits like tinned pineapple, green banana, mango, and a light hint of shaved coconut.
• Palate (Taste): Incredibly silky and creamy. Immediate waves of liquid raisin fudge, molasses, and creamy toffee coat the tongue. Beneath the sweetness sits a structured backbone of spiced oak, pear juice, lychee, and a gentle wisp of sugarcane distillate.
• Finish: Medium-to-long, mellow, and satisfyingly rounded. It fades slowly with a balance of dry, warming oak tannins, trailing sweetness from dark berries, and a lingering touch of caramel.
