Bacardi Becomes Sole Owner of Teeling Irish Whiskey Amid New Release

Bacardi has acquired full ownership of Teeling Irish Whiskey, completing a journey from minority shareholder in 2017 to sole proprietor in 2024. This shift consolidates the Dublin-based distillery under the Bacardi umbrella while keeping Teeling’s founders Jack and Stephen Teeling involved in the brand’s future. In recognition of more than a decade of craft whisky production, Teeling has recently launched a special release: Teeling 11 Years Old 11th Birthday Batch .

Maturation & Flavor Profile

The Teeling 11 Years Old 11th Birthday Batch commemorates the distillery’s eleventh anniversary and features a blend of some of Teeling’s oldest single-pot-still and single-malt whiskies. Bottled at 46% ABV, this expression harnesses the depth developed over 11 years at the heart of Dublin’s evolving whisky scene. The selection reflects decades of maturation expertise, combining rich whiskey heritage with contemporary craftsmanship.

Master Blender's Statement

Jack Teeling expressed confidence in the acquisition, stating, “My brother and I both know that at Bacardi, Teeling is in the best possible hands.” He emphasized that working alongside Bacardi over the past nine years has shown a shared commitment to raising the bar for Irish whiskey and preserving Teeling’s values.

Release & Availability

The Teeling 11 Years Old 11th Birthday Batch is a limited edition, restricted to 500 individually numbered 500ml bottles. Priced at €90.11, it offers collectors and enthusiasts a chance to own a piece of Teeling’s history. This special batch is available now through Spiritory.

Teeling 11 Years Old 11th Birthday Batch stands as both a celebration of Teeling’s eleven years and a symbol of the brand’s promising new chapter under Bacardi’s sole ownership.
