Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, Teeling Whiskey is launching an exclusive Single Barrel in the U.S. Can we get an amen?

This series involves 12 individual casks of Irish Single Malt whiskey hand bottled just for us.

The 2016 U.S. Single Barrel release consists of 13-Year-Old Single Malt Irish whiskey distilled in 2002 and initially matured in ex-bourbon barrels for the first 12 years before being finished exclusively in ex-White Port barrels from the Carcavelos region of Portugal famous for its beautiful light fragrant fruity flavor.

Our friends at Teeling  are the first whiskey producer to ever use this type of White Port barrels to age whiskey and deliver a truly unique taste that works perfectly with the underlying taste characteristics of Irish whiskey. Each bottle of Single Malt is numbered, hand filled and bottled in its most natural form at cask/barrel strength.

Jack Teeling, founder of the Teeling Whiskey Company, told us that, “We are delighted to be able to release such unique and innovative expressions of Teeling whiskey in the U.S. for St. Patrick’s Day. In conjunction with some of the leading U.S. retailers we continue to drive the choice and breadth of offerings for Irish whiskey drinkers.”

Tasting Notes

This single barrel has a rich, warm mouthfeel with soft citrus fruits, vanilla, and prickly spice. Toasted wood and toffee notes finish this light, smooth, dry single malt.

Carcavelos is a Portuguese wine region centered on the Carcavelos municipality in Estremadura region and includes land near the cities of Cascais and Oeiras. The region has Portugal’s highest wine classification as a Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC). Located at the very southern tip of the Estremadura region, the region has a long winemaking history dating back to the 18th century when Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, Marquis of Pombal owned vineyards here. The region is known for its fortified wine production, creating off dry, topaz colored wines that have nutty aromas and flavors. While once a thriving wine region, world-renowned in the 19th century for its tawny colored fortified wine, in the modern era Carcavelos has been devastated by real estate development in the suburbs of the capital city of Lisbon and nearby coastal city of Estoril.

The Teeling Single Barrel retails for $85 and you can purchase it here.

The only thing better than watching a NASCAR race is enjoying the same race with a glass of fine bourbon in your hand. While you can easily crack open any number of nuanced, memorable whiskeys for this purpose, why not imbibe one made specifically for drinking while viewing car racing? Lucky for you, the folks at Bardstown, Kentucky-based Rebel Bourbon – the Official Bourbon of Richard Childress Racing – are announcing the limited-edition release of Kyle Busch 108 Single Barrel Bourbon.

Study reveals coffee leads U.S. caffeine intake
Coffee consists of 70% of U.S. caffeine intake
Small coffee cup and saucer

A new study of more than 49,000 U.S. adults revealed that coffee now accounts for 70% of total caffeine consumption. While the overall demand for caffeinated drinks has decreased, those consuming caffeine are doing so with more potent doses. The recently published study in Food and Chemical Toxicology also found that carbonated soft drinks accounted for 15% of caffeine consumption. In contrast, tea only contributed to about 9% of caffeine consumption. Energy drinks contributed to about 6%, which have become more popular over recent years.

While the overall caffeine dose is higher for those who consume caffeine, most people remain under the daily recommended limit of 400 mg of caffeine per day. Despite the rise in the availability of decaf coffee products, most consumers still consume under the recommended daily limit set by the Food and Beverage Administration, which generally equates to about two or three 12-ounce cups daily.
