Teeling Single Grain Whiskey

Teeling Single Grain Irish Whiskey is a multi-award-winning Irish grain whiskey from the Teeling Whiskey Company in Dublin — one of only a handful of Single Grain bottlings in the world, matured in hand-selected Californian Cabernet Sauvignon barrels to produce an intensely fruity and beautifully amber liquid with lush berry notes and a full, rich character.

Single Grain Irish Whiskey is a genuinely rare commercial category — most grain whiskey is used as the backbone of blended Irish whiskey and never seen independently. Teeling has bottled this grain whiskey as a standalone expression after maturation in Californian Cabernet Sauvignon barrels, where the residual wine character of the red wine casks transforms the inherent grain whiskey character into something significantly more complex and wine-rich. The result has won best in class at the World Whiskies Awards annually since its release. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration. Order online with fast shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Single Grain Irish Whiskey?

Single Grain Irish Whiskey is made from a grain base (typically wheat or corn) rather than exclusively malted barley, produced in column stills at a single distillery. It is a genuinely rare commercial category — most grain whiskey is used for blending and never bottled independently. Teeling’s Single Grain is one of only a handful of standalone single grain expressions available.

How do the Cabernet Sauvignon barrels change the character?

Californian Cabernet Sauvignon is known for dark fruit, cassis, cedar, and full-bodied structure. The residual wine compounds in the cask transfer red berry fruit and wine complexity to the maturing grain whiskey, producing an intensely fruity character that would not be achievable in standard bourbon or sherry oak maturation.
