Smell
The nose of the Teeling Riesling Wine Cask Grand Cru is a fruit firework. Bright fruits and grapes are immediately present and give the flavour a fresh, sweet note. The flattering notes of a little honey and orange/lime add a delicate sweetness and citrus freshness. Grain notes are subtle, while a slight sour note adds an extra dimension to the bouquet.
Taste
On the palate, the Irishman is reminiscent of white rum, which adds an unusual but fascinating component. The whisky appears youthful and shows an extreme acidity that is strongly reminiscent of lime and pineapple. Salted caramel and vanilla provide a balanced sweetness that softens the acidic character somewhat and gives the flavour additional depth.
Finish
The finish is short, but notable for the presence of oak and a slight furry note, which gives the finish a certain charm. Although the finish is rather short, it leaves a lasting impression and rounds off the flavour experience.
Thoughts
The Teeling Riesling Wine Cask Grand Cru Edition 2021 is a young whisky that is pleasant to drink and impresses with its exciting acidity. The distinct rum flavour and unusual profile make it an interesting pleasure, even if it is not a classic treat. For those looking for an innovative and unique whisky, this edition offers a refreshing change.
