It suits the drinker who likes Islay smoke but wants it wrapped in something sweeter and lighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess \u0026amp; Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlackpitts takes its name from the old malting quarter of Dublin's Liberties, directly behind Teeling's Newmarket Square distillery — the first new distillery to open in Dublin in 125 years when it started production in 2015, run by brothers Jack and Stephen Teeling. The malt is peated to roughly 55 ppm, triple-distilled rather than the usual twice, then matured in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and ex-Sauternes wine casks. It is bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof), non-chill filtered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, soft peat smoke sits over honeycomb, pear, lemon zest, and a thread of vanilla — closer to bonfire than to iodine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, sweet barley and mango arrive first, then the smoke builds through the middle alongside apricot jam and the botrytis honey character the Sauternes casks contribute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is smooth and gently smoky, with orchard fruit and light oak lingering rather than the ashy bite peat drinkers might expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sauternes component is the interesting decision here. Peated malt is usually finished in sherry or left in refill bourbon; running it against a sweet Bordeaux dessert-wine cask is what keeps the smoke from dominating and gives the mid-palate its stone-fruit weight. Blackpitts was only the second whiskey Teeling distilled at Newmarket Square, and it remains the distillery's peated flagship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe neat in a Glencairn — at 46% and non-chill filtered it does not need water. Smoked salmon or a firm goat cheese plays to both the smoke and the sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this whiskey?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA peated, triple-distilled single malt Irish whiskey distilled at Teeling's Dublin distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the specs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e46% ABV, 92 proof, non-chill filtered, matured in ex-bourbon and ex-Sauternes casks.
