Teeling Blackpitts Batch 1 6cl sample

The Teeling Blackpitts Batch is is the first peated single malt whiskey from the Teeling distillery in Dublin. This Irish single malt was inspired by the old ancient Blackpitts area just behind the new Teeling Whiskey Distillery based in Newmarket in the old Liberties area of Dublin City, this area was synonymous with many industries and in particular malting houses. Blackpitts was traditionally home to some of the largest barley malting houses in Ireland. By using smoke from peat to dry the barley during the malting process, the resulting peated malt produces a distinctive smoky taste profile which is the signature of a peated single malt. This is a 6cl sample.

The Blackpitts matured in bourbon casks (2/3) and Sauternes casks (1/3) and this first batch was bottled in 2020 at 46% ABV, non chill filtered and with no added colour, as a limited release of 11.000 bottles.
