Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey. Image courtesy Teeling Whiskey Company.This Irish Whiskey has an unusual characteristic…it was finished for six months in Rum casks before bottling. The result is a whiskey with a nose of molasses, vanilla, hints of cinnamon and allspice, and a touch of oak. The taste has a good balance of sweetness and spices, with caramel candy, brown sugar, and molasses notes balanced by cinnamon, vanilla, a hint of clove, and oak. The finish has lingering cinnamon spice along with oak and a hint of brown sugar. (February, 2015)
