Teeling ‘Blackpitts’ Peated Single Malt Whiskey Review

Peated whiskey remains much less common in Ireland than it does in Scotland, and this release from Teeling is among the best on offer. Bottled at 46 percent ABV, it's a bold, expressive whiskey, beginning with intense barbecue sauce aromas, and followed up with notes of banana and charcoal. The flavor profile has great depth of flavor, and finishes with a soft, malty, vanilla landing.
