Whispering Waters - Teaninich 12 Year Single Malt Scotch
Exclusive Release from Teaninich Distillery
This special release from The Whiskey Lab showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Teaninich Distillery, a jewel in Diageo's crown, primarily utilized for their signature blends. Rarely released as a single malt outside Scotland, this Scotch presents a unique opportunity for American whisky enthusiasts to explore its distinct character.
Distinctive Features of Distillation:
-
Extended Fermentation: Teaninich’s fermentation process lasts a minimum of 75 hours, far exceeding the typical duration, enhancing complexity and flavor depth.
-
Innovative Milling Technology: Utilizes Scotland's only hammer mill that produces an ultra-clear wort without the need for a traditional mash tun.
These result in a distillate with notable floral and Japanese grass notes without any hints of acidity.
Exceptional Cask Influence:
-
Ex-Bodega Sherry Barrique: Matured in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks sourced from a prestigious bodega in Spain, not the commonly used casks seasoned with low-quality sherry.
-
Premium Sherry Legacy: The cask previously held high-quality sherry, a rarity post-1980s when most sherry casks began to be crafted specifically for the Scotch industry, often compromising sherry quality for volume.
This Teaninich release, matured in a cask that once enhanced the finest sherry, marries the distillery’s innovative spirit production techniques with the rich heritage of Spanish winemaking, delivering a Scotch whisky of unparalleled depth and intrigue.
Nose
Offers a vibrant burst of fresh fruit and pecans with subtle hints of citrus, setting a fresh and inviting tone that welcomes the taster into the complexities to follow.
Palate
Rich and deep, the palate unfolds with a medley of dried fruits, notably sweet dates, intertwined with the caramel-like sweetness of brown sugar. Each sip invites deeper exploration into the layered flavors.
Finish
Long and pronounced, the finish is a gradual crescendo of warm spices, revealing a lingering complexity that encourages savoring. Each note slowly builds, promising a lasting impression that beckons another taste.
