Inspired by the old ancient Blackpitts area just behind the new Teeling Whiskey Distillery based in Newmarket in the old Liberties area of Dublin City, this area was synonymous with many industries and in particular malting houses. Blackpitts was traditionally home to some of the largest barley malting houses in Ireland. By using smoke from peat to dry the barley during the malting process, the resulting peated malt produces a distinctive smoky taste profile which is the signature of a Peated Single Malt.

However, what makes Teeling Blackpitts so unique is the triple distillation process, which reduces some of the medicinal character you would get from a traditional Scottish Peated Single Malt and allows the more barbeque smoke characteristic to shine. This is then combined with signature Teeling innovative cask maturation using both ex-bourbon and ex-Sauternes white wine casks, which is bottled at 46% with no chill filtration to produce a truly different and unique expression of Teeling and Irish Whiskey. The inspiration for the use of these casks came from a previous bottling of Teeling 24-Year-Old Single Malt which was honoured as the “World’s Best Single Malt” in 2019 at the World Whiskies Awards.

De Teeling familie is sinds 1782 al betrokken bij Ierse Whiskey toen de over-over grootvader, Walter Teeling, van de huidige generatie al zijn distilleerderij had aan de Marrowbowe Lane. In 1987 heeft John Teeling de Cooley Distillery geopend en in 2007 de Kilbeggan Distillery. Deze werden in 2012 verkocht aan Beam Global.

In 2015 hebben de zoons van John, Jack en Stephen, de nieuwe Teeling Distillery  geopend aan Newmarket in de Dublin Liberties. Op steenworp afstand van de vroegere distilleerderij van Walter Teeling middenin “The Golden Triangle”. Het historische distilleer district van Dublin. De eerste nieuwe distilleerderij in Dublin in meer dan 125 jaar. En de eerste werkende distilleerderij in bijna 50 jaar.

Alle whiskey van Teeling wordt zonder enige toevoeging en zonder koude filtering gebotteld op een minimale sterkte van 46% alc.
