Words of Whisky (83)

:

Nose: The rum influence is very present, mainly through those classic funky, dunder-like aromas. But the fruit-y, grain-y notes from the Small Batch are here as well. Sure, there are tropical flavours (pineapple the most obvious one), but everything is complemented by spices, mainly cinnamon.
Taste: Again, there’s that clear mixture of the Small Batch and funky rum, while the mouthfeel is rather thick and somewhat oily. A slight spiciness highlighted by cracked black peppercorns. A tad drying and a whiff of bitter lemon zest, but also honey and some mint.
Finish: Spicy, dry and soft sweetness. Medium in length.

Score: 83

Integrated at some points, a little less at others, Teeling Pineapple Rum Cask sometimes doesn’t quite makes up its mind. This tastes almost as much like rum as it does whiskey. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. You just have to enjoy the funky stuff.

Some kind of collaboration between Teeling and the house Ferrand/Plantation. I think some pineapple has been in use. Well, given that we find pineapple in many Irish whiskeys, like Bushmills or Cooley indeed, looks like this time we're going to be served even more pineapple. Colour: straw. Nose: I'm not quite sure where we are, but adding pineapple to pineapple just reinforces the pineapple aspect of the drink, right? To be honest, it's not bad, especially since there's also prairie honey, ripe bananas, orange blossom water, and pure orange juice. We also find a bit of lime blossom tea. But that was the nose... Mouth: a peaty feeling at the start, peels, rather dry herbal teas, then honey, peach and melon skin, bananas flambéed, a bit of peppermint, but not as much pineapple, oddly. Or maybe it's just me. Finish: quite long, on candies, violet, and Szechuan pepper. But where did the pineapple go, I ask you! Comments: I'm not sure we need to produce three tankers of this, but it's quite successful, the two styles are not so far apart from each other. So, not just the Hawaiian pizza of whisky
