Teeling Blackpitts

Since 2015, the Teeling Distillery in Dublin has been bringing Irish Whiskey to the world. Their peated “Blackpitts” edition, so named for the area surrounding the distillery traditionally used for malting barley, utilizes the distillery’s unique aging approach, which uses both ex-bourbon and ex-Sauternes white wine casks to impart a new and unique experience for Teeling and for Irish Whiskey in general. Bottled at 46% and with no chill filtration, the Blackpitts promises to deliver a little something new from the ashes of something old.

Copperworks Distilling has eschewed the normal distillery commercial standard by having a limited product offering but achieving uniformity between batches. Rather, the distillery has leaned purposefully into crafting each release as a limited, distinct expression that allows them to explore the subtle nuances that differences of grains, yeasts and cask aging can provide, while still holding onto some house styles. The Copperworks Peated is their 34th release, and is made from eight casks of whiskey that were aged for a little over four years, with Washington barley smoked using Washington peat, a first for the distillery. Copperworks has since signaled it will distill peated whiskies on an annual basis.
