Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt Whiskey Review

An Unconventional Irish Whiskey
Rising From The Ashes

Blackpitts Peated Single Malt Whiskey is inspired by the old ancient Blackpitts area just behind the Teeling Whiskey Distillery. Blackpitts was the traditional home to some of the largest barley malting houses in Dublin, Ireland. By using smoke from peat to dry the barley during the malting process, the resulting peated malt produces a distinctive smoky taste profile which is the signature of a Peated Single Malt.

Hyde No. 9 Single Malt Finished in Iberian Tawny Port Cask Whiskey Review

Hyde No. 9 Iberian Tawny Port Cask Whiskey Review

Limited Edition Special Reserve Bottled at 46% abv and Non-Chill Filtered

Hyde No.9 came about following a cask sourcing expedition to the Douro Valley to handpick the best port casks available. Conor and the team traveled to the Douro valley before Covid19 struck to source these casks directly from a Port vineyard in the village of Pinhão in Northern Portugal. The fact that these vintage, juicy, Tawny port casks came fresh straight form the vineyard to Hyde Whiskeys bonded warehouse to put their single malt whiskey into for six months has had a HUGE effect on the final taste.
