Located in the ancient Newmarket Square, a stone’s
throw from St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Teeling Whiskey
Company is bringing craft distillery back to Dublin.
Founded by descendants of Walter Teeling, who set up a
craft distillery in Dublin in 1782, Teeling represents the best
of new Irish whiskey, with a young, forward-thinking, entre-
preneurial spirit balanced by a deep respect for heritage.
This spirit is apparent in Teeling’s state-of-the-art distillery
and is embodied in its whiskeys, blended by an American
microbrewer from Oregon. In the industrial-chic tasting
room with oversize keyhole windows overlooking the busy
market square, I had a taste of the small-batch whiskey.
Vanilla and spice notes mingled with hints of rum from the
barrel aging. The flavor was bright, sweet and smooth — the
unique Irish character to which I’d grown accustomed. The
Teeling story is an Irish story at heart, one of resurgence,
reinvention and adaptation, which captures the spirit of the
Irish whiskey industry as a whole. Luckily, my original opinion of whiskey had also been reinvented and adapted, and I
can safely say I have learned to love Irish whiskey. My tour
may have been a brief sip, but I’ll be back for more. M
