Expert Review

Teeling Small Batch Rum Cask is a blended Irish Whiskey matured in rum casks, bottled at 46%.

The whiskey is a blend of malt and grain whiskey, further matured in casks that previously held rum from Central and South America. The rum maturation gives the whiskey a characteristic tropical sweetness that sets it apart from more traditional bourbon- and sherry-matured blends. Small Batch was one of Teeling's first releases and remains one of the distillery's best-known bottles.
