Teeling Brabazon Bottling Series 03 is a single malt Irish whiskey with a stated age of 14 years. This expression is part of Teeling's Brabazon series, which focuses on unique cask maturation to enhance the whiskey's character. The Series 03 has been matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, which impart a rich and complex flavor profile to the spirit.
The whiskey presents a deep amber color, indicative of its time spent in sherry casks. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of dried fruits, nuts, and subtle spices, creating an inviting and warm aroma. The palate is equally complex, with layers of rich prunes, dark chocolate, and a hint of oak spices, providing a well-rounded and satisfying taste experience.
The finish is long and lingering, with the dried fruit and oak notes gradually fading, leaving a pleasant warmth. This whiskey is well-suited for those who appreciate a deep, rich, and mature flavor profile, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced whiskey drinkers alike.
