Description
The Whisky Cellar bottled this Teaninich single malt, aged 8 year old from 2015, drawn from cask 2911 + 2921 and bottled at 55%. 133 bottles in all. First built in 1817 north of Inverness at Alness, Teaninich is a big Highland workhorse. There are no warehouses on site; the spirit is matured in Diageo's central stores.
It was drawn off fat copper stills fed by a uniquely clear wort, for a fragrant spirit with a green tea lift. Ex-Bourbon casks held the spirit, soft oak that lets the grass lead. Younger here, it keeps a clean, grassy freshness over a waxy texture. Sherry wood suits the light make, lending dried fruit and a nutty depth. Robert Innes Cameron, an Elgin blender, became sole owner in 1904. The Munro family ran the distillery through two generations before selling. The Cromarty Firth nearby is one of few UK waters home to bottlenose dolphins. A long fermentation of around 75 hours builds the fresh, fruity notes.
At a full 55% it is intense yet fresh. A gentle vanilla from the wood runs under green apple, grass and a light honey. It is fresh and clean, the green spirit shining through. It closes clean, grassy and waxy. This is a fresh, waxy Highland single malt.
