I have already written about my February 'Whiskey of the Month' (blog), but a few days ago I had a whiskey, or two, 'for the road' at The Jolly Fisherman in Hastings (blog), and thought it worth sharing; apologies if I'm going on about whiskey nearly as much as ale these days, but I'm enjoying them in my dotage! 😉
Anyway, this second February whiskey was again from Dublin distillery Teeling, who I wrote about back in December (blog), when I had a bottle of their 46.0% Small Batch. This time it was their Single Malt whiskey, also 46.0%, with a deep Chardonnay white wine colour, and matured in a combination of American Oak, Ruby Port, Caravelos White Port, Madeira and Bourbon casks, which add to the complexity of this whiskey!
The Single Malt has an aroma of grapes at first, then forest fruits and spices. It is nicely mellow to drink, with subtle hints of sherry and spices in the flavour. A very smooth luxurious Irish whiskey, with plenty of warmth, a slightly bitter-sweet butterscotch at the finish, and indeed, yet another very easy to drink whiskey, slainte! 👍
