Small Batch Irish Whiskey Rioja Finish 70cl - Sommelier Selection - Astuccio - Teeling

This Small Batch Irish Whiskey finished in Rioja casks is a carefully curated offering from Teeling’s Sommelier Selection, presented in a 70 cl gift box. On the nose it opens with a pleasant balance: evocative but never intrusive ripe red fruit, subtle vanilla and a light spiciness that creates tension without weighing it down. The palate retains the typical clarity of the Irish style, with moderate warmth and a roundness that envelops the mouth, while the structure stays composed thanks to delicate tannins that support the flavor without overpowering it.

On the palate there are notes of plum and candied cherry, a hint of cocoa and a slightly toasted finish that leaves a pleasant persistence. It’s a versatile spirit: enjoy it neat to appreciate the nuances or with a small ice cube to soften the alcohol, and it pairs well with dark chocolate, aged cheeses or red-fruit based desserts. The packaging and finish also make it an elegant gift for those seeking a whiskey with a controlled, gastronomic character.
