A Dozen Great Bottles of Irish Whiskey to Drink Right Now
Teeling 34-Year Single Malt
A marquis release from a marquis brand, Teeling 34 is one of the oldest whiskeys ever bottled out of Ireland. They released a 33-year-old version last year which was stunning, and amazingly this whiskey still seems like it has room to age. Only a minuscule 40 bottles were put into the market of this rare whiskey, but it really is a one-of-a-kind taste experience. Vanilla and caramel take background positions as notes of sandalwood and allspice take front and center.
