Teaninich 8 Year Old Special Release 2025 Rye Rebel Single Malt Scotch Whisky 60.3%

Teaninich 8 YO Rye Rebel marks an exciting chapter in the distillery’s history as the first whisky crafted with rye as the main ingredient. This experimental edition from Diageo’s Special Releases 2025 series is a single grain Scotch whisky that breaks with tradition and introduces a fresh and spicy flavour profile that stands apart from classic malt whiskies.

The whisky is matured in ex-bourbon casks, adding a soft sweetness and delicate vanilla notes that balance the natural spice of the rye. The result is a lively and innovative whisky that celebrates both creativity and craftsmanship.

The nose opens with sweet grain notes, vanilla, clove, and a touch of caramel – a warm and inviting aroma that promises complexity and character. On the palate, the rye comes forward with spicy tones of pepper and honey, while the bourbon cask contributes light vanilla and a fresh texture that makes the experience vibrant and dynamic.

The finish is medium-long, marked by rye spice, pleasant sweetness, and a subtle hint of oak that rounds off the profile with finesse.
