Teeling Whiskey unveils Small Batch Classic in India

Teeling Whiskey, the award-winning Irish whiskey producer renowned for its innovation and craftsmanship, has announced the launch of Teeling Small Batch Classic, a bespoke Irish whiskey expression crafted exclusively for the Indian market. The Teeling Small Batch Classic was launched in India at the event hosted by the Ireland’s Ambassador to India, HE.

Small Batch Classic is part of Teeling’s award-winning collection of Irish whiskeys and represents a unique and modern twist on traditional Irish whiskey making.  It is the latest string in the bow for the 'World’s Most Awarded Irish Whiskey' brand.

Made in small batches from hand-selected casks of grain and malt whiskey, Small Batch Classic is the product of being aged in first-fill bourbon barrels. Each component is hand selected for its stand-out character to provide a rounded, full-bodied flavour experience.  The whiskey is carefully crafted to provide a delicate balance of creamy vanilla and spicy fruit notes designed especially for the Indian palate.  It is bottled at 46 percent ABV with no-chill filtration to retain its true natural character.
