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.
Old Pulteney 18 Year
Old Pulteney was founded in 1826 and named after the same Sir William Pulteney that the nearby Pulteneytown was. The core lineup has both No Age Statement offerings along with a few aged whiskies, and the Old Pulteney 18 is the oldest of the current portfolio. Double matured in both second-fill American ex-bourbon and first-fill Spanish ex-Oloroso sherry casks.
Glenlivet Enigma
The Glenlivet Enigma was the fourth in the “Mystery Series”, a range in the 2010s that featured the Alpha (2013), Cipher (2016), Code (2018), Enigma (2019), and Spectra (2020). These bottles usually came with little to no details on the packaging or website and encouraged drinkers to explore the range of experiences Glenlivet had to offer without relying on marketing guidance. Some bottles featured puzzles or other clues the consumer could solve to reap notes or facts about the bottles in question. The Enigma was the highest-proofed offering from the series.
