Teeling Bordeaux Red Wine Cask
Teeling Distillery was founded in 2015 and was the first new distillery to open in Dublin in 125 years. It was founded by Stephen and Jack Teeling, sons of the legendary John Teeling, all ancestors of the Walter Teeling who operated a distillery in Dublin in the late 18th Century. This Teeling Bordeaux Red Wine Cask is one such pick, a single malt entirely matured in the ex-wine casks rather than the more traditional finish, and bottled at cask strength.
Clydeside Stobcross
Clydeside Distillery was opened in 2017 by Tim Morrison and released its first single malt on October 15, 2021. The Clydeside Stobcross is the distillery’s first release and is named after the Stobcross House that once sat upon the River Clyde before it was demolished to make way for the Queen’s Dock.
Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve
The Glenlivet was founded in 1824 by George and John Smith, and has remained almost continually open for over two centuries apart from a few years during World War II. Currently owned by the Chivas Brothers Group under the Pernod Ricard corporate umbrella, it is currently the largest selling scotch in the United States and second biggest in the world. While a minority of the distillery’s 10.5 million liters per year output goes into Chivas Brothers blends, the vast majority goes into single malts like the Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve. The bedrock of the Signature Collection, this single malt is matured in oaks with a selection of first-fill American oak casks.
