Irish Whiskey News & Stories

Teeling Irish Whiskey, located in Dublin, Ireland, is one of a newer range of Irish whiskey distilleries in recent years leading a renaissance in this whiskey category. It started with a range of expressions from barrels it owns purchased from elsewhere, much of which it still makes use of, and more recently also brought on board its own in-house distilled whiskey. Now joining all of these is what’s described as the first “Dublin distilled peated single malt.”

Miles of column inches already document Irish whiskey’s resurgence in the past decade. As a proud Irishman with more than a passing interest in whiskey, this of course makes me happy, but we have been here before. Our industry is an object lesson in boom and bust. This time, our renaissance has to be different.

The Irish Whiskey Association has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure legal protection for Irish whiskey resulting in 85% of global Irish whiskey sales are now subject to legal protection.

  The wait is over for this long awaited release. Teeling Whiskey today announced the release of Blackpitts, a peated single malt Irish whiskey and the second release from their own stills in their home at Newmarket Square of Dublin’s Liberties. The first release from their Dublin distillery was a single pot still Irish whiskey, the first pot still to come out of Dublin in forty years. Teeling Whiskey have issued the following press release: Blackpitts is the second release from their new Dublin Distillery and continues its unconventional approach to expanding the Irish whiskey category See full story here
