Teeling Single Malt Tequila Cask Irish Whiskey Selected Exclusively for California
Teeling Single Malt Tequila Cask Irish Whiskey Selected Exclusively for California is a bold California-only release — 100% malted barley single malt finished in ex-tequila casks and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), non-chill filtered — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Crafted exclusively for the California market, this small-batch single malt from Teeling Whiskey Company is first matured in traditional oak, then finished in ex-tequila casks — a boundary-pushing twist that amplifies Teeling's house style of vibrant, fruit-forward character with unexpected complexity: herbal, citrusy and slightly earthy.
Tasting notes (retailer copy): lime zest, green agave and white pepper over orchard fruit and subtle vanilla on the nose; creamy and zesty with honey, tropical fruit, roasted pineapple and a whisper of vegetal spice from the tequila cask on the palate; a crisp, dry finish with lingering citrus and soft oak.
Why buy the Tequila Cask? Because ex-tequila casks on Irish single malt is one of the boldest finishes in whiskey — and this California exclusive won't be repeated. Explore the Irish whiskey collection, the Teeling brand collection, and all spirits.
Serving note: neat or over ice — the tequila-cask spice makes a fascinating high-proof whiskey sour too.
