Ireland

Teeling Sommelier Selection includes variants of Small Batch Irish Whiskey in which high quality wine barrels are used for secondary aging instead of rum. After barrels of French and Italian wines, the 5th release will see for the first time maturation in barrels of red wine from the Portuguese Douro Valley, whose wine was pressed from the harvest of vines over 25 years old. These casks enrich the light, fruity-floral whiskey with hints of dark fruit and spice. Aromas of ripe plums and currants accompanied by dates and spicy notes. Intense palate, but well balanced with black pepper and tannins alongside sour cherry and rich dark fruit flavors. Medium and fruity-spicy finish with dry tannins and warm spices.

The most famous Irish single malt whiskey, the Bushmill's 10 Years, is partially aged in American oak barrels, which formerly contained bourbon and, a smaller part, in Spanish oak barrels that formerly contained sherry. It has a golden color and an elegant aroma, very balanced, fine and smooth, with notes of cereal, citrus (lemon) and licorice. Floral and vanilla notes are added. In the mouth it is sweet and slightly creamy, confirming the notes of the nose. Long finish, revealing notes of wood, almonds and honey.
