" Single Grain Whiskey is distilled using a continuous still or Coffey Still which produces a consistent if slightly characterless spirit when compared to pot still distillate. The secret therefore in producing a great single grain whiskey is in the quality of the grain used and in the maturation. Teeling have stayed away from the old Bourbon casks used by everyone else and instead have chosen American Red Wine Barrels which give a rich ruby hue to this non chill filtered whiskey. The red Wine influence also extends to the taste, adding an extra richness to the taste and a slight tannin dryness to the finish. Single Grain Whiskeys can also be lighter and have less character than their malt pot still cousins, so Teeling have bottled their single grain at a non chill filtered 46 to give it more Ooomph! The result is a single grain Irish whiskey of real style and substance." ~Distillery notes
