Teeling Blackpitts Big Smoke 70cl 56.5°

Teeling Blackpitts Big Smoke is the new limited edition from the Teeling distillery with only 8,400 bottles available. A whisky that has a strong peat.

Double distilled and peated at 55ppm*, Blackpitts Big Smoke is fully aged in ex-Bourbon barrels. If peat is not usually Teeling's favourite domain, with this Big Smoke cuvée, the distillery has succeeded in the exercise with flying colours. The Single Malt Teeling Blackpitts Big Smoke reveals a deep barbecue smoke nuanced by floral, fruit and smoky wood flavours.

A very different whisky from the first Teeling Blackpitts bottling.

This whisky is inspired by the old Blackpitts district just behind the new Teeling Distillery. This district was synonymous with many industries, and in particular maltings. Blackpitts traditionally housed some of Ireland's largest barley malthouses.

*PPM -  phenols parts per million, measuring the influence of the oily smoke peat infusing the germinated barley during the drying process. The longer the exposure, the highest the ppm value is. A well peated Islay whisky reaches a 40-50 ppm. But every whisky still develops its very own character and mouthfeel sensation, depending on the style of each distillery.
