Teeling Wonders of Wood Virgin Chinkapin Oak, 50%

This comes at you full on, though it's more about the wood than the single pot still. First impressions are savory and spicy with roasted sweet chestnuts, marron glacé, malt, a little mash tun funk, blackened spices, clove, licorice, pecan, warm leather, and treacle. Bramble, black currant, and forest honey, chewing through flavors of clove, pepper, Brazil nut, cola, and savory oak, with a hint of mint chocolate to finish. (6,600 bottles for the U.S.) No. 19 in Top 20 of 2022.
