Teeling Announces U.S. Launch Of Single Grain Whiskey
20 Feb 2015 --- The U.S. whiskey industry is known for its corn/grain whiskey but the current world champion of this category comes for Ireland. The innovative Teeling Whiskey Company who have already released their award winning Small Batch rum cask finished Irish whiskey to critical acclaim are now launching their Single Grain whiskey. This release is to help drive the selection and breadth within Irish whiskeys at a time of growing interest in the United States for more innovative, unique and interesting Irish expressions.
Teeling Single Grain is one of only a handful of single grain bottlings in the world. It uses a completely unique maturation process fully maturing the whiskey in Californian red wine barrels. The whiskey is made by combining unique ingredients, with maize/corn dominating and uses modern column distillation to produce the whiskey, which is exceptionally clean and smooth with a touch of sweetness. Jack Teeling, founder of the Teeling Whiskey Company, commented, “It’s a little known fact that the majority of Irish whiskey sold is actually Grain whiskey so we feel it is interesting to have expressions of Single Grain whiskey in its own right. Our new Teeling Single Grain is representative of our aim to help drive the expansion of the Irish whiskey category through unique bottlings and expressions.”
