A great review - to the point - of a nice whisky. I tried all kinds of Rum Cask matured whiskies over the last two years and the Teeling still comes out as my second favorite. Thumbs up for the sign btw.
@@NoNonsenseWhisky The Balvenie 14 comes in third for me. My absolute favorite is Mackmyra Vinterdröm. It is matured in Plantation Rum casks. It is the only whisky matured in rum casks where I would say you can guess the rum brand still as it is so unique in taste. Maybe also worth a try if you like the rum cask finish in general.
Hey, you have nailed it. You described this whiskey just like it tasted to me. Bought it after the Brabazon bottle was empty. Whoever likes this , please try the Brabazon, it is similar, but more complex.
I’ve had the odd pour of feeling over the years but not for many many moons. Just brought a bottle at £40 from a local liquor store, I know I’ve probably paid a tad too much for it but it’s not readily available round by me.
@@NoNonsenseWhisky with the current state of the insane pricing of whisk(e)y, cheap is a nice change. I find nothing wrong with this bottle and I keep one in my bar all the time.
Sounds like a good value whiskey with a bit more to offer for the price. It is about $40 in my area of he US versus $60 for their single malt. I'll probably try the single malt first. Thanks for reviewing both.
Damn good whiskey. Popped a bottle of this with my dad and a family friend. Smooth, a little sweet, burn doesn’t overpower the flavor. A double of this is my gentleman’s choice for a relaxed night with good friends. Shame it’s not widely known in my area. Wish I could ask for it at my usual hangouts. Ordering it online is good enough for now though.
It's pretty tough for a whisky to contain a high malt content yet stay the cheapest in the range and this one is no exception because grain whisky is much cheaper to make than malt. Teeling are now ( 2020 ) saying that the blend is 75% grain and 25% malt. It's currently $33 in Boston and at that price represents great value for money. Teeling Small Batch would have to be the best of the base level Irish whiskies and well worth a try.
Did you visit the Teeling Distillery when you went to Dublin? My favourite was the Pot Still from their standard range. Write difficult to get hold of now. The Brabazon 01 was also very nice.
@@NoNonsenseWhisky I did the Guinness Storehouse plus the Teeling Distillery, the Pearse Lyons Distillery and the Irish Whisky Museum. They were all great. Definitely worth a visit. They now have the Dublin Liberties distillery too.
Great review. I need to go after some Teeling for this St. Patrick's day. I continue to hear good things, and I was glad that with time this one was good with a great finish. Love the bottle size here, I wish I could get that size around here. It could bring down the cost of doing these reviews eh?
Nice review (yes Irish whiskeys need time !) & nice play of words on your lighted board..."Apples & oranges " remind of something lol (Pink Floyd !) Cheers !
I enjoy this and the other Teeling expressions, but I can't help noticing a very common youthful piney note that I get in most Irish whiskeys. I preferred the single malt.
Although im pretty sure this was double distilled, i think Triple distilling could bring those notes forward. In making it more delicate, those flavours come to the surface. Just an opinion though, no hard fact!
i picked up a mini of this on my way back from Dublinand i have to say i really enjoy it. it's probably my favourite Irish whiskey right now, it has a lot of flavour. i think i got a lot more of the Rum on the nose and some sweetness with the spice at the tail end. also i typed in teeling small batch, i like to see other people's opinion after ive had a whisk(e)y, and you came up first, hello!
Tried this and must say it was the worst Irish I've ever had. It was watery at best. This is the first Teeling I've had - I wonder if I should even bother with other Teeling!
Funny all the high reviews of this. I picked up a bottle today with high hopes of a quality budget priced Irish ☘️. It tasted harsh and unrefined to my palate. Tullemore DEW had a much finer budget Irish, for me.
@@NoNonsenseWhisky I couldn't comment further until now. My daughter was a bit fussy last night. I liked the Teeling Single Grain and their single malt. I've heard that The Irishman Founder's Reserve is very similar to the Teeling Small Batch, except it uses 70% malted and 30% unmalted potstill distilled whiskey (distilled separately, if I understand correctly). Might make for an interesting Versus review. At any rate, enjoyed the review. Cheers, Vin!
liked this one much more, than the malt - the marketing of most these irish brands makes me realy angry - not, that they using stuff they dindn´t produce theire own - but fooling customers in thingig it is stuff with age loge history... Teeling are just one of many... not that its bad stuff... realy nice for the price whiskey
Agreed there. The marketing is one thing I always stay away from. I'll never read from the bottle or box or give any information from websites etc on these videos. It's just price and flavour 👌
This is my personal fav whiskey. Just the most beautiful tasty whiskey i have ever tasted
Teeling and cream in coffee is my "go-to" after work beverage

Thanks for that! I'm not that well versed in rum casks, but I'd have to say my favourite is the Balvenie 14

Thanks for the tip. I haven't tried that one yet so I'll look out for it!
Another one to add to my list....great review Vin appreciate the work you put in.
Thanks Gary, always nice to hear!
I enjoyed your review and whiskey itself very much! Cheers!
Thanks for checking out the review!

That's probably about right these days to be honest
I really enjoy this offering from Teeling.
It's very tasty indeed. And surprisingly cheap!

I prefer the Single Malt I have to say. I've just recorded the Single Grain for release on Thursday and I didn't like it much

I don't tend to see it on shelves much any more either. I wonder how their stocks are doing

Man that's so cheap! I'd say it's about the same but in £ here. The really doing well with their value for sure
Did you visit the Teeling Distillery when you went to Dublin? My favourite was the Pot Still from their standard range. Write difficult to get hold of now. The Brabazon 01 was also very nice.
Sadly not no. We were only there for a day and we chose the Guinness Storehouse for the big visit. Next time for sure though
@@NoNonsenseWhisky I did the Guinness Storehouse plus the Teeling Distillery, the Pearse Lyons Distillery and the Irish Whisky Museum. They were all great. Definitely worth a visit. They now have the Dublin Liberties distillery too.
I'll definitely have to do a whisky trip. I'd love to see the teeling distillery too
It’s a great wee pour. Top notch review👌🥃
Cheers Al. I just picked up some Connemara too 👌
@@NoNonsenseWhisky Saw your Twitter post. You got it for a steal, too!
Too good to pass up thats for sure!

Definitely, I'm always looking wee bottles. Having my dram subscription really helps too!
@@NoNonsenseWhisky no subscriptions offered here yet. Perhaps with time. Thanks again!
Which 6 months of the year was it extra aged? Would make a huge difference in the batches...a year at least would've been so much better!!
I've got a mini bottle of my own rattling around on my shelf. Watching this makes me want to crack it open.
Get em cracked!
Nice review (yes Irish whiskeys need time !) & nice play of words on your lighted board..."Apples & oranges " remind of something lol (Pink Floyd !) Cheers !
I'm a big pink Floyd fan! Cheers Greg
Cool ! @@NoNonsenseWhisky
I love irish whiskey, and i'm going to buy this today. strangely only 24 usd here, (20 pound)
That's a bargain!
@@NoNonsenseWhisky It actually had a 5 dollar coupon on it, so it was 19 bucks usd.
For 46% it does not taste its extra strength and that sweet finish just amazing

Awesome to see RUclips promoting me! Thanks for checking out the video!
So if i were to get a bottle for 18 pounds that would be a steal right
Just answered on the other comment, but yes that would be a steal!
@@NoNonsenseWhisky :) i'm going for it
Let me know what you think!
Vin, good review. Are you planning anything special for the 17th?? Maybe the Jameson Caskmate Stout? Erin go bragh!!
🤔 I haven't thought about it yet. Might see if I have something special on the sample shelf
It's available at Tesco for £38, is it worth it?
It's £30 on Amazon right now 👌👌
You had me giggling with the sign.
😂
Cover the proper 12 Whiskey. - will be a huge success to the channel, even more so than the GOT Johnny Walker review
I was going to but I think I'm already too late for that one. Everyone else has done it already
No way man the people want your opinion 👏🏻
The new pot stil release is out now
Hopefully it'll cross my path at some point!

Do your teelings need a tissue😉
😂 always!
Wouldn't the teelings need a fissue?
Excellent!
First!
Boom, you got it!
