About Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey
In 1782, Walter Teeling opened a distillery along Marrowbone Lane in Dublin, Ireland. At the time, nearly 40 independent distilleries dotted the rolling Irish landscape, the majority of which were centralized in the industrial engine room of the city — the Liberties. “Since 1782 the Teeling family has been crafting Irish Whiskey,” says Jack Teeling, the founder of the Teeling Whiskey Company.” The entrepreneurial spirit that inspired Walter Teeling back in the 18th century has not been diluted over the years and the latest generation of Teelings are committed to innovating and creating unique Irish whiskeys.”
Teeling Blackpitts is a peated Irish whiskey ― the first of its kind to be distilled in Dublin, as well as the second whiskey to be distilled at Teeling’s new distillery. It’s a triple-distilled single malt that is crafted with peated barley from Glenesk in Speyside. It’s the triple distillation that brings the phenol level down, making for a gentler smokiness than its Scottish counterparts. The expression is aged in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sauternes French wine casks, then bottled without chill filtration at 92 proof. The name is a reference to the Blackpitts area behind the distillery, which was famous for its abundance of malting houses.

About Irish Whiskey
Contrary to popular belief that Scots invented whisk(e)y, Irish whiskey was mentioned almost a century before its Scottish brother.
Its origin comes from the perfume distilling monks who decided to tweak the recipe a bit, creating Irish whiskey.
Irish whiskey doesn’t have a lot of rules and regulations to be considered “pure” and can be made with various grains and processes, as long as it is aged for at least three years in wooden casks and has a max ABV of 94.8%.
