We are no strangers to whiskies from Finland and were delighted to explore more in the Nordic section of the 2025 London Whisky Show!
I remember being introduced to the Teerenpeli 10 year more than a decade ago, courtesy of the team at The Whisky Exchange. I was looking for something different, possibly European, and this dram more than fit the bill!
Fast forward, and the good folks at Teerenpeli continue to put out a more than respectable range of expressions. Here is what we covered in our brief sniff and swish of Teerenpeli:
- Teerenpeli Soidin 40% ~GBP 50 for 500 ml
- Teerenpeli Kulo 7 year 50.7%
- Teerenpeli 15 year 54.9% ~GBP 100 for 500 ml
- Teerenpeli Savu 43% ~GBP 50 for 500 ml
- Nose – A lovely lady, lush, sherry, sweet
- Palate – Sweet, balanced, soft, well-rounded, yet clear sherry influence
- Finish – Lovely, light, and lingering
This sherry-matured opening act was inspired by the “dramatic mating rituals of the Nordic nature” – the dance of the birds was mentioned. Launched at the 2025 London Whisky Show,
Teerenpeli Kulo 7 year Sherry 50.7%
- Nose – Delicious dark berries, robust Sherry, whisky-soaked raisins, caramel, a touch of mocha
- Palate – Flavour balanced between sweet and spice, red velvet cake, dates, blackcurrant
- Finish – A warm embrace of spice
This is like the big brother of the Soidin. With even more pronounced Sherry influence – likely both PX and Oloroso.
- Nose – Baked apple pie, cinnamon, and cloves, caramel, vanilla
- Palate – Juicy apples, well-rounded, mature
- Finish – Surprisingly light
This single malt was matured for 15+ years in 65% bourbon and 35% sherry casks. In our humble opinion? It was worth the wait.
- Nose – Soft peat, sherry sweet, caramel apples
- Palate – Smooth, gentle peat, lovely balance between sweet and peat
- Finish – Dry
Using peated malted barley, Savu was matured in 80% bourbon and 20% Pedro Ximénez casks.
And there you have it! A rather good quartet from the folks at Teerenpeli.
Our other brushes with Teerenpeli centred on two expressions:
