Venture into a fascinating fusion of Irish and Japanese craftsmanship with the Teeling Whiskey Explorers Series 15 Year Old Japanese Edition. This extraordinary blend of cultures emerges from the marriage of Irish Whiskey and rare Mugi Shochu casks, which brings an unprecedented layer of complexity to the Teeling's innovative expression. The end result is a bottle that stands as a testament to the daring spirit of Irish explorers who ventured across the globe.
This 15 Year Old Whiskey kicks off its journey in traditional Bourbon barrels, maturing over the years and acquiring a distinctive depth of character. Its adventure doesn't stop there, however. The whiskey then spends an additional four years in the unique ex-Mugi Shochu casks, marking a first for Irish Whiskey maturation. This secondary ageing process imparts distinct notes of passion fruit and lychee, challenging conventional Irish Whiskey profiles and introducing drinkers to an entirely new experience.
On the nose, the whiskey charms you with an enticing bouquet of candied apples, lychee, and jasmine tea, all underpinned by the comforting scent of vanilla, fruity pastries, and spice. The palate greets you with bursts of exotic lychee and passion fruit, combined with poached pears, gingerbread cookies, and golden syrup. The finish is sweet, mellow, and enduring, highlighted by soft wood tannins, dried fruits, and a refreshingly crisp aftertaste that leaves you yearning for more.
At the heart of this masterful creation is Teeling Whiskey, an independent Irish whiskey company dedicated to breathing new life into Dublin's distilling tradition. Born from the vision of Jack Teeling, the company draws its inspiration from an ancestral distillery established in Dublin in 1782. Today, Teeling Whiskey is synonymous with innovation, quality, and a respect for the craft that is evident in every sip of their diverse range of whiskies.
The Teeling Whiskey Explorers Series 15 Year Old Japanese Edition is a worthy tribute to the company's pioneering spirit. It invites whiskey enthusiasts, both newcomers and seasoned connoisseurs alike, to set sail on a tasting journey that breaks barriers and surpasses expectations.
