Teeling 21-Year Rising Reserve Series 4: Limited 6,000-Bottle Single Malt

Introduction & Overview

Teeling Whiskey introduces the fourth release in its Rising Reserve 21 Year Old Single Malt Series, a notable addition from the Dublin-based distillery. This edition of the Teeling 21 Years Old Rising Reserve Single Malt Whiskey Series 4 showcases over two decades of maturation, blending tradition with innovation in Irish single malt whisky. Its availability now extends to multiple international markets including Germany, France, and Japan, marking a significant expansion for this super-premium limited edition.

Design & Presentation

The whisky is presented in a distinctive dark amber-colored decanter that stands tall on the shelf, reinforcing its premium status. Packaged in a gift box, its elegant visual cues reflect the quality and craftsmanship behind the spirit, making it a striking option for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

This single malt underwent initial maturation of more than 18 years in ex-Bourbon barrels before being finished for three years in high-quality ex-white wine casks. This dual maturation lends the whisky vibrant notes of tropical fruits and white chocolate, with nuanced hints of honey and roasted barley adding complexity and warmth. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration, it retains a rich and authentic character.

“The Rising Reserve Series honors the storied journey of Irish whiskey, from its rich heritage to its bright future. Each release reflects our commitment to crafting whiskeys of exceptional quality and character, and this fourth release is no exception. After 21 years of maturation in ex-bourbon and white wine barrels, a unique Irish single malt whiskey with distinctive depth of character and flavor is created. With it, we continue our mission to push the boundaries of Irish whiskey.”
