Teeling Single Cask Chestnut Cask is a single malt which was distilled in October 2005 and bottled in July 2019. It matured initially in ex-bourbon and finished its maturation in a chestnut cask. Irish whiskey must be matured in wood, not necessarily oak. Teeling took advantage of this distinction, and created this unique whiskey by finishing in a chestnut cask. This is a US exclusive release. I tasted this at Saratoga Whiskey Club Tasting # 59 (Teeling).
