Teeling Distillery: Dublin’s Modern Irish Whiskey Maker
Teeling Distillery is located in Dublin, Ireland, and it’s become one of the most talked-about names in modern Irish whiskey over the past decade. Unlike many older Irish distilleries that survived intact for centuries, Teeling represents a revitalised spirit industry in Ireland’s capital — born from heritage but driven by innovation.
The Teeling name has roots going back to the 18th century, when the Teeling family were prominent Dublin blenders and merchants. The modern distillery opened in 2015, bringing production back to the city after generations of Irish whiskey decline. It’s part of a broader renaissance, but Teeling has carved its own place by blending solid craft with experimental cask work.
Visitors to Dublin now get to see active distilling in the city itself, which is a rare experience. That urban energy carries through in the whisky: it usually feels bold, flavourful, and thoughtfully shaped by wood rather than hiding behind a soft triple-distilled profile alone. For UK drinkers who want Irish whiskey with personality and a bit of edge, Teeling is often a first stop.

Teeling Irish whiskies tend to be fruit-rich, spice-tinged, and wood-influenced, often highlighting the effects of innovative cask maturation.
Expect orchard fruit and honey sweetness up front, followed by gentle spice and oak structure. Teeling’s use of diverse wood types — including ex-rum, ex-cognac, and fortified wine casks — adds layered complexity that keeps each expression distinctive.

Distillery Facts
Overview & History
Teeling Distillery is located in Dublin, Ireland, and officially opened in 2015. It was the first new distillery to open in Dublin in over 125 years, marking a major milestone in the revival of Irish whiskey production.
The Teeling family has historic links to Irish whiskey dating back to 1782, when Walter Teeling established a distillery in Dublin.
Modern Teeling Whiskey was founded by brothers Jack and Stephen Teeling after their earlier involvement with Cooley Distillery. The brand initially launched using sourced whiskey stocks before transitioning toward its own distillate.

- Category: Irish whiskey
- Styles Produced: Single malt, single grain, blended, and pot still whiskey

Teeling is known for extensive experimentation with cask finishing and maturation styles.
Whisky Style
Teeling whiskeys typically show:
- Smooth, fruit-forward profile
- Vanilla and honey sweetness
- Tropical and orchard fruit notes
- Soft spice
- Modern cask influence

Key Expressions

- Teeling Single Malt – Multi-cask matured single malt
