My Whisky Live Singapore tasting experience kicked off with a decided Irish air with a trio of whiskies from Dublin’s new Teeling distillery established near Walter Teeling’s old distillery from 1782.

Tasting notes are sparse as my approach was to sniff, sip and spit… then move on to the next dram. A sacrilege to many, but worked for me. Hence most of my scribbles are more impressions than proper tasting notes, providing more of a teaser of what is in store than proper evaluation.

Teeling Single Grain Wine Casks (08/2015) 46%

• A sweet light fruity breakfast dram with a nice viscous mouthfeel, though soft has substance with a dry finish
• The Teeling gent shared that the wine cask in question was a Californian Cabernet Sauvignon

Teeling Small Batch Rum Casks (11/2015) 46%

• Another sweet easy going dram, vanilla spice on the nose, a bit sweet spice sour on the palate, with a finish that is there and gone
• Matured in ex-Nicaraguan Rum barrels

Teeling Single Malt (09/2015) 46%

• Lots of dry fruits, toffee, citrus, sweet spices, dry finish
• A vatting of 5 wine casks – Sherry, Port, Madeira, White Burgundy, Cabernet Sauvignon

A light, sprightly start to tasting adventures…
