Summary
This blend is a unique collaboration between Teeling Whiskey and Plantation Rum, resulting in a spirit that showcases the best of both worlds. The whiskey is initially aged in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in Plantation Rum casks, which imparts a distinctive sweetness and complexity to the final product. This dual maturation process enhances the whiskey's character, making it a delightful choice for those who appreciate nuanced flavors.
On the nose, this blend offers an inviting aroma of tropical fruits, vanilla, and a hint of spice, thanks to its rum cask finish. The palate is equally engaging, with a smooth and mellow texture that reveals layers of sweet fruit, caramel, and subtle oak. The influence of the rum casks is evident, adding a rich, fruity dimension that complements the whiskey's inherent qualities.
The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering sweetness and a touch of warmth. This blend is perfect for both novice and experienced whiskey drinkers, offering a balanced and approachable profile that can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a variety of cocktails.
