A smoky Irish whiskey from Dublin
Blackpitts takes its name from the historic area of Dublin's Liberties around the distillery, once home to the tanning pits of the city's leather trade. Teeling's distillers mature the peated triple-distilled spirit in ex-bourbon casks and ex-Sauternes wine casks. The bourbon casks bring vanilla and sweetness, while the Sauternes casks add honeyed, fruity richness to balance the smoke.
Frequently asked questions
Is Irish whiskey ever peated?
Rarely. Most Irish whiskey is unpeated, which makes Blackpitts a great bottle for anyone who loves Islay Scotch but wants something smoother and fruitier.
How smoky is Teeling Blackpitts?
It is noticeably smoky but well balanced. Triple distillation and Sauternes casks keep it lighter and sweeter than most heavily peated Scotch.
How should I drink it?
Neat, with a splash of water, or in a smoky highball or penicillin cocktail.
