Brabazon fra Teeling Whiskey

I går, den 3. maj lancerede Teeling Whiskey en ny serie og den første flaske i serien har fået navnet :The Brabazon Bottling, Series 1

Since 1782 the Teeling family have been crafting Irish whiskey. However 2015 marked the year a new generation of Teelings returned to their distilling roots in the Liberties area of Dublin City and specifically Newmarket. There is another family synonymous with this specific area of the city – the Brabazons. From the 16th to 19th century the Brabazon family presided over this area of the Liberties and it was William Brabazon, the third Earl of Meath, who was granted the right to establish the great trading square at Newmarket. This was the original industrial suburb of Dublin, with an extensive tradition of brewing, distilling, tanning, weaving and trade in agricultural produce. The mercantile character of the area attracted generations of tradesmen including Walter Teeling who in 1782 set up the original Teeling Distillery in nearby Marrowbone Lane.

This new series focuses on creating a full flavoured experience that pays homage to the unique and distinct role that fortified wines can have on the taste of Irish whiskey. This first release in the Brabazon Bottling series focuses on the maturation effect of ex-sherry casks on the character and flavour of Irish Single Malt. By choosing a complementary range of vintages, sizes and styles of sherry cask matured Single Malt whiskey, the Brabazon Series No. 1 captures all the layers and aspects of flavour sherry casks can impart.

Jack Teeling, Founder og Managing Director af Teeling Whiskey udtaler “Our new Irish Single Malt brings together two famous Dublin family names – the Teelings and the Brabazons. By making reference to the historical Brabazon name, we are telling the story of why our family first came to the Liberties area of Dublin. But more importantly we are telling the story of why we are here now. Our aim with the whiskey was to create a full bodied tasting experience for people who enjoy the added complexity and taste sherry casks impart, and at the same time continuing our goal to expand the spectrum of flavours available from premium Irish whiskeys.”

Brabazon, Series 1 vil kunne købes hos destilleriet og vil senere komme til butikker i Europa, dog er Danmark ikke på listen.

Brabazon er aftappet ved 49.5% og er ikke koldfiltreret. Der kommer 12500 flasker af denne aftapning.
