Teeling Sommelier Selection Douro Wine Cask is a blended Irish whiskey produced by the Teeling distillery in Dublin. This expression is part of the Sommelier Selection collection, a series dedicated to the influence of different wine regions on Irish whiskey.
Crafted from the base of Teeling Small Batch , this whiskey undergoes initial maturation in ex-Bourbon casks for up to 5 years , followed by a finishing period of at least 14 months in ex- red wine casks from the Douro Valley in Portugal. This step allows Teeling to explore the influence of casks from this wine region on its blend.
The choice of Douro is in line with the Sommelier Selection collection, which highlights various collaborations between the world of Irish whiskey and that of wine. After working with several European wine regions, Teeling continues its experimentation with complementary maturation in wine casks.
