Teeling 21 Year Old – Rising Reserve Series 2 (1 of 6000)

Teeling Whiskey Rising Reserve Series 2 is the second release in Teeling’s prestigious vintage reserve collection, showcasing the distillery’s rare older stocks and inventive cask finishing.

This 21-year-old Irish single malt spent over 18 years maturing in ex-bourbon barrels before a lengthy 3-year finish in ex-Marsala wine casks from Sicily. That extended Marsala maturation brings an extra layer of richness, weaving together orchard fruit, citrus brightness, and soft spice while preserving Teeling’s elegant house character.

Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and limited to 6,000 bottles worldwide, this is a refined, collectible release that balances maturity with vibrant fruit-driven freshness. 

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Mellow vanilla sweetness opens into toasted apricots, sweet Seville orange, spiced fruits, tobacco, and toasted almonds.

Palate: Creamy and rounded, with brown sugar, stewed fruits, oak tannins, and warming cinnamon spice.

Finish: Long and elegant, showing honeysuckle, rich demerara sugar, citrus zest, and lingering spice.
