Small Batch is a blend of malted and unmalted barley whiskeys that are triple distilled, initially matured in ex-bourbon barrels, and then finished for up to 12 months in Central American rum casks. The liquid is bottled at 46% without chill filtration, preserving the oils and texture that lower-proof, chill-filtered competitors often sacrifice.

The Single Grain expression is column distilled from a mashbill of 95% corn and 5% malted barley, then aged for five years exclusively in ex-California Cabernet Sauvignon barrels. This red wine cask maturation is the defining choice here; rather than finishing in wine wood for a few months as many producers do, Teeling commits the entire maturation period to these casks, allowing the wine influence to permeate the spirit thoroughly.

The triple distillation is not merely traditional — it actively reshapes the peat character, stripping away iodine and medicinal harshness to foreground clean, barbecue-style smoke that reads differently from Islay or Highland peated Scotch. The ex-Sauternes finish is an uncommon pairing with heavy peat, and the result — tropical fruit, salted caramel, and sweet smoke in a single glass — positions Blackpitts as one of the more inventive peated malts on the market today. A 9-out-of-10 score from Whisky Magazine confirms this is not novelty for its own sake but a well-executed whiskey that earns its place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Teeling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44837852512425,"sku":"33357","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Teeling-Blackpitts-Peated-Irish-Single-Malt-Whiskey__79341.jpg?v=1730497739"},{"product_id":"teeling-trinity-pack-50ml-3pk","title":"Teeling Trinity Pack 50ML 3Pk","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTeeling Trinity Pack 50ML 3Pk\u003c\/strong\u003e is a collection of three 50ml Irish whiskeys — Small Batch, Single Grain, and Single Malt — all bottled at 46% ABV with no chill filtration.

The Phoenix Legends 2 is a 100% malted barley single malt that spent 14 years maturing in ex-bourbon barrels before undergoing a two-year finishing period in Sicilian Marsala wine casks. Marsala casks are uncommon in Irish whiskey production and are valued for the layers of stewed fruit sweetness, brown sugar, and apricot character they contribute—a finishing choice that distinguishes this release from more conventional sherry or port cask finishes seen across the category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden honey and warm vanilla arrive first, followed by dried orchard fruit—apricot and fig—and toasted nuts.
