Whisky Notes (83)

Nose: dusty grains and dusty plywood. There’s a honeyed note and a subtle sultana touch, as well as some melon and white grapes. However, compared to other Sauternes finished whisk(e)y (including Teeling’s own versions), it is quite subtle, almost underfinished even. A light sour note and vanilla too. Then a buttery popcorn and vanilla note.

Mouth: fruity, as expected, with a nice oiliness and richness to it. Sweet and sour peaches, oranges, more grapes. Creamy vanilla comes out, as well as some candied ginger. While it still reminds you of other blends, the booziness of the Chardonnay stays more under the radar here.

Finish: not too long, sweet with more grainy notes and spices coming through.

This one is much more balanced than the Chardonnay, especially if you give it time to unfold. The grains are more subdued and the classic Teeling character manages to shines through, making this is a fine summery dram. Mostly found in the Benelux again.
