Producer Description

Initially very fruity, with waves of tropical fruits, ripe apples, melons, and oranges then some touches of milk chocolate, spice and old engine oil. Packed with flavors of bittersweet chocolate, quince, orange marmalade, cloves, ginger and other spices. There's a slight hint of smoke, but not peat smoke, more like charred oak and vanilla. Water opens up some delicious tropical fruit flavors of mango and pineapple with hints of red berries.

Through innovative cask maturation and finishing techniques, Teeling has crafted a unique, award-winning Single Malt Whiskey full of flavour. Made with Irish Whiskeys distilled from 100% malted barley, matured and finished in casks that impart the influence of five wine casks (Sherry, Port, Madeira, White Burgundy, Cabernet Sauvignon), this Irish Single Malt Whiskey delivers a unique fruit-forward flavor profile that is complex yet balanced and has often been described as “a symphony” of flavor.

Expert Review

90 Points Wine Enthusiast | Hints of green apple and almond lead the nose. The palate opens with roasted grain and lemony astringency; adding water releases hints of vanilla custard and buttered toast. Sprightly lemon-pepper and cayenne sparks warm the exit. Finished in five distinct wine casks, including sherry, port, Madeira, white Burgundy and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Expert Review — Vintage 2021

Vinous 97 Points | Pure Chardonnay from the oldest vines of the estate, planted in 1959. Smoothness dominates the nose — almost salty hints of lanolin, a touch of Mirabelle and a lovely note of straw. The palate is intense, concentrated and pervasive, with uncompromising nakedness, dynamism and drive, dripping with lemon brightness, all bound up in earthiness reminiscent of fresh cep mushroom and profound, cooling limestone. Clarity is everything here. The finish is long, serene, touching and memorable. Bone-dry.

About the Wine

Velich Tiglat is the crown jewel of the Velich lineup — sourced from the estate’s original plantings from 1959 in Burgenland, Austria. The wine is fermented naturally and kept on full lees for at least 24 months, building extraordinary texture and complexity without compromising the bone-dry purity that defines the house style.

This is the pinnacle of the Velich range: Tó (young vines) → Darscho (35–50 year vines) → Tiglat (1959 vines). Each step up brings greater concentration, minerality, and aging potential.

Tasting & Pairings

Lanolin, Mirabelle, straw, lemon brightness, fresh cep mushroom, cooling limestone, and salt. Intense and concentrated yet profoundly clear. The finish is long, serene, and memorable. Serve lightly chilled — this demands time and attention in the glass.

• Lobster or scallops with brown butter — the wine’s concentration and lemon brightness elevate luxurious shellfish.
• Roasted turbot or Dover sole — noble white fish for a noble Chardonnay.
• Aged Comté (24+ months) — the depth and salinity of both are a stunning match.

Producer Description

Expert Review

96 Points Wine Enthusiast | From master distiller Dave Pickerell, this estate-grown, field-to-flask offering makes good use of oloroso Sherry barrels. Look for peach and vanilla aromas, bold raisin and brown sugar flavors and a gentle exit that just hints at Sherry. At nearly 93 proof, the alcohol makes its presence known, so add some water or vermouth if you must. Attractive and substantial squared bottle.
