Teeling Douro Old Vines Sommelier Selection

This fifth release in the series draws on our desire to innovate using the finest Portuguese wine barrels. For this release we have selected, ex-Red Wine Casks from the Douro region in Northern Portugal to create an expression unique to Irish Whiskey. Douro is a style  of Portuguese wine that comes from the Old Vines that are usually more than 25 years old found in the northern region of Portugal. Douro Old Vines are notoriously vibrant and full bodied with rich notes of deep black fruits and wood spice. This limited edition whiskey has captured the distinctive plum, acidity and tannins from the Douro Old Vines casks and paired them beautifully with the floral and fruit notes of the Teeling Small Batch. The result is celebration of the impact of the unique character of the Douro Old Vines wine and is truly and Irish Whiskey to savour!
