Description

Single malt Teaninich, from the independent bottler Global Whisky Limited, a 13 year old from 2008, drawn from cask 709849 and bottled at 51.5%. A release of 549 bottles. Teaninich was built in 1817 in the northern Highlands at Alness, and it is rarely seen as a single malt in its own right. It was founded by Blind Captain Hugh Munro, a Napoleonic veteran, on his Teaninich estate.

The spirit was run from a clear wort through the distillery's tall stills, to build a clean, waxy, grassy character. Maturation came in ex-Bourbon wood, with vanilla under the grassy spirit. Mid age brings a deeper honey and a riper green fruit. Refill oak lets the green, grassy distillery character lead. A long fermentation of around 75 hours builds the fresh, fruity notes. Filled spirit is tankered away to mature in Diageo's central warehouses. The name comes from the Gaelic for house on the hill, a nod to the old estate.

At cask strength 51.5% it is muscular yet green. Grass, pear and a gentle wax meet soft vanilla and honey from the cask. The mouthfeel is waxy, the citrus carried on a grassy body. A clean, gently waxy finish lingers. This is Teaninich's clean, grassy Highland style.
