Finish
Teeling Single Pot Still is the first Dublin-distilled single pot still Irish whiskey in nearly fifty years. That alone is a historical achievement, but what sits in the glass is also simply good whiskey: the classic Irish creamy body from unmalted barley, the triple-distilled softness, the three-cask maturation program that Stephen Teeling designed for this expression. For a distillery that has been making spirit on this single site since 2015, the restraint and balance are remarkable. This is an Irish homecoming bottled in Dublin from barley to cork — a single pot still style returned to the city that invented it, made by one family in one building.

Cocktail Suggestion
The Newmarket Sour: Combine 2 oz Teeling Single Pot Still, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz honey syrup, and 1 egg white in a shaker. Dry shake, then shake with ice, strain into a chilled coupe, and top with three dashes of Angostura bitters. The creamy pot still texture marries beautifully with the whipped egg-white cloud.
Food Pairing
Aged Irish cheddar with a drizzle of heather honey and oat biscuits — the whiskey's barley-forward creaminess melts into the cheese while the oak spice balances the sweetness of the honey.
