About This Gift Pack
Teeling Trinity Gift Pack 3 x 5cl is a miniature Irish whiskey tasting set featuring three of the expressions that helped establish Teeling as one of the leading names in the modern revival of Irish whiskey.
Inside are three 5cl bottles: Teeling Small Batch, Teeling Single Grain and Teeling Single Malt. Each is bottled at 46% ABV and provides a different perspective on the Teeling house style.
Rather than simply presenting three variations of the same whiskey, the Trinity Gift Pack explores genuinely different categories and maturation approaches.
Small Batch introduces Teeling's signature blend and its distinctive rum-cask influence. Single Grain demonstrates the softer, sweeter character of grain whiskey combined with wine-cask maturation. Single Malt moves into 100% malt whiskey and a complex combination of cask influences.
This makes the pack particularly useful as a tasting set. Try all three alongside one another and the differences in grain composition, maturation and blending become considerably easier to identify.
With 15cl of whiskey in total, divided between three miniature bottles, it is also an excellent Irish whiskey gift without requiring the recipient to commit to one particular style.

What's Included in the Teeling Trinity Gift Pack?
The Teeling Trinity Gift Pack contains three 5cl miniature bottles:
Teeling Small Batch – 5cl, 46% ABV
Teeling Single Grain – 5cl, 46% ABV
Teeling Single Malt – 5cl, 46% ABV
Together, the three expressions provide a compact introduction to the diversity of the Teeling range.
Teeling Small Batch
Teeling Small Batch is one of the distillery's signature expressions and an excellent starting point for discovering the brand.
It is an Irish whiskey blend combining malt and grain whiskeys, with a maturation programme that includes a distinctive finishing period in Central American rum casks.
That additional rum-cask influence is an important part of the whiskey's personality. It contributes additional sweetness and fruit to the underlying Irish whiskey, creating an approachable but characterful style.
Expect vanilla, sweet spice and fresh fruit on the nose, followed by a smooth palate where creamy sweetness, dried fruit and gentle spice meet the influence of the rum cask.
At 46% ABV, Small Batch retains plenty of flavour and body. It can be enjoyed neat, with a small amount of water, over ice or as the base for an Irish whiskey cocktail.
Teeling Single Grain
Teeling Single Grain demonstrates how distinctive Irish grain whiskey can become when maturation and cask selection are placed at the centre of the flavour profile.
Grain whiskey is sometimes thought of primarily as a component used for blending, but Teeling Single Grain is designed to stand on its own.
Its maturation in red wine casks introduces additional fruit, sweetness and spice to the naturally smooth character of the grain spirit.
Expect an inviting combination of red fruit, vanilla and sweetness on the nose. The palate is smooth and rounded, with berry fruit, gentle spice and sweet oak character developing towards the finish.
Tasted alongside Small Batch, Single Grain provides an excellent demonstration of how both the underlying spirit and cask choice can alter the personality of Irish whiskey.
Teeling Single Malt
The third miniature in the Trinity Gift Pack is Teeling Single Malt.
Produced from 100% malt whiskey, this expression brings together whiskeys matured in a selection of cask types, including wine casks, creating a layered and fruit-forward interpretation of Irish malt whiskey.
The aroma offers ripe and dried fruit alongside citrus and sweet malt. On the palate, fruit remains prominent, complemented by vanilla, spice and oak before moving into a lingering finish.
At 46% ABV, it has enough concentration to reward slower tasting and provides an interesting final step when progressing through the three bottles in the gift set.
Despite its name, it is important to distinguish Teeling Single Malt from the other expressions in the pack. Small Batch is a blended Irish whiskey, Single Grain explores grain whiskey, while Single Malt focuses entirely on malt whiskey.
That contrast is precisely what makes the Trinity Gift Pack so useful as a tasting experience.
Tasting the Teeling Trinity Gift Pack
The best way to explore the Trinity Gift Pack is to taste the three whiskeys side by side.
Begin with Teeling Small Batch. Its combination of grain and malt whiskey and rum-cask influence provides an approachable introduction to the Teeling style.
Move next to Teeling Single Grain. Pay particular attention to its smooth texture and sweeter fruit character, comparing the wine-cask influence with the rum-cask notes found in Small Batch.
Finish with Teeling Single Malt. Its malt character and varied cask maturation provide a richer conclusion to the tasting.
For the clearest comparison, serve each whiskey neat at room temperature in separate tasting glasses. You do not need to pour the entire 5cl miniature at once; smaller measures allow you to return to each whiskey throughout the tasting.
Try each neat first before adding a few drops of still water. At 46% ABV, a small amount of water can help reveal additional aromas without excessively diluting the whiskey.
Tasting all three together makes this gift pack much more than a collection of miniature bottles. It becomes a simple introduction to the effect that whiskey style, grain composition and maturation can have on the finished spirit.
About Teeling Whiskey
The Teeling family has deep connections with Irish whiskey, but the modern Teeling Whiskey Company was founded by Jack and Stephen Teeling.
The opening of the Teeling Whiskey Distillery in Dublin's Liberties marked an important moment in the revival of whiskey distilling in the Irish capital. When production began there in 2015, it represented the return of a working whiskey distillery to Dublin after a long absence.
The location is significant. Dublin was historically one of the great centres of Irish whiskey production, with the Liberties particularly associated with the city's distilling heritage.
Teeling has helped connect that history with the contemporary resurgence of Irish whiskey.
The distillery operates three copper pot stills and has developed a broad portfolio encompassing blended whiskey, grain whiskey, malt whiskey and Dublin-distilled pot still whiskey.
Cask experimentation has also become an important part of Teeling's identity. Rum, wine and other cask types are used across the range to develop flavour profiles that can differ significantly from more traditional Irish whiskey expressions.
The Trinity Gift Pack captures that approach particularly well by placing three distinct Teeling whiskeys together in one tasting set.
An Irish Whiskey Gift
The Teeling Trinity Gift Pack is particularly well suited to gifting because it offers variety rather than requiring you to choose one full-size bottle for the recipient.
For someone beginning to explore Irish whiskey, the three miniature bottles provide an opportunity to discover which style they prefer.
An experienced whiskey drinker can instead use the set as a compact comparative tasting, exploring the differences between Teeling's blended, grain and malt expressions.
Its Irish provenance also makes it a useful gift for birthdays, Father's Day, Christmas, corporate gifting or for someone visiting Ireland who wants to explore contemporary Irish whiskey.
The miniature bottles are convenient for anyone who enjoys trying different whiskeys without immediately purchasing several 70cl bottles.
Why Choose the Teeling Trinity Gift Pack?
The strength of the Teeling Trinity Gift Pack is the variety contained within a relatively compact set.
Rather than three miniature bottles offering very similar flavour profiles, it contains three distinct Teeling expressions: Small Batch, Single Grain and Single Malt.
Each showcases a different aspect of whiskey production and maturation, while the consistent 46% ABV makes comparative tasting particularly interesting.
It is therefore equally suitable as a Teeling whiskey gift set, an introduction to Irish whiskey or a tasting pack for someone already familiar with the category.
The connection with Dublin adds further appeal. Teeling has become closely associated with the revival of whiskey distilling in the capital, making the set a particularly appropriate choice for anyone interested in modern Dublin whiskey.
