One of my favorite Irish whiskeys. The Mistake from Natterjack originally was released as a limited edition. But due to its popularity (& deliciousness), it was brought back. It's very heavily oaked. Cool story behind it.
Sláinte 🇮🇪🥃

Heading to OKC for a cheer competition this weekend. Pre making Old Fashioneds. I have a travel bottle that will hold 5 Old Fashioneds. Just waiting on the Demerara syrup to cool. Using the #Teeling Blackpitts to give it a bit of smokiness. It's also #freshbottlefriday!

Seems like it's been a minute since I've opened a fresh bottle on a Friday. Tonight's sip... The Whistler Calvados Cask Finish. Fresh floral notes, spiced apple, and sweet plum are the main players in this dram. Two thumbs up! Sláinte 🇮🇪🥃

Not an ideal way to open a fresh bottle 😮💨. Now I can't get the cork out of the bottle.
Well, fortunately, this is a delicious drop. Heavily influenced by the Bordeaux red wine casks. Sláinte 🇮🇪🥃

Haven't opened a new bottle in a few weeks, at least. Been trying to enjoy some open bottles first. I am under 50 bottles of Irish whiskey for the first time in quite some time. Nevertheless, it's a fresh bottle on a Friday!!

#IrishWhiskey #Teeling #WonderOfWood
No #freshbottlefriday today. Instead, I need to empty a few bottles before opening a new one. 27 of my 52 bottles are open. Some have been open for close to a year. Need to get down to about 20 open bottles. So, let's go!

This one is from one of my favorite Irish distilleries, Teeling. Born & raised in Dublin, Ireland, this single pot still just hits. Nose is loaded with floral aromas & fresh berries. The palate is warming; cracked pepper, buttered biscuits & citrus fruits. Sláinte 🇮🇪🥃

Another #freshbottlefriday.
I absolutely love this single pot still. It is in my top 5 of #IrishWkiskey single pot stills. The 2.6% oats mash makes this an exceptionally creamy dram. I am sad though, as this is my last bottle of it and it isn't sold anywhere near me any more😭. Sláinte 🇮🇪🥃
#freshbottlefriday
