It promises to be a Christmas like no other, and that means that we might have to put our thinking caps on extra tight to come up with the right gifts for friends and family.
You’ll most likely be seeing plenty of the hashtag #sSupportLocal as the Christmas shopping season gets into top gear between now and December.
Fortunately Dublin distillers Teeling Whiskey are making it easy to do just that as they have been laying the groundwork with their Christmas gift range.
Naturally, there will be plenty of interest in their range of premium whiskeys, and you can go that extra mile with a personalised bottle from the Distillery Exclusive range (€65), which are each matured in a different type of wood – for example, North American Chinkapin Oak.
Or for something truly special, go for a bottle of the Renaissance Series 2 single malt (€140, pictured below), aged 18 years in ex-bourbon barrels and ex-Australian shiraz casks.
If you’re looking for something more affordable, a gift set containing a bottle of Teeling’s Small Batch whiskey and two glasses retails for €40, while a Trinity Pack containing three different miniatures is available for just €18.
Fancy taking your own virtual tour of the distillery and tasting session? That’s available at €25 – it comes with three whiskeys to try, as well a link to access the online tour and masterclass.
Or you can try making your own Teeling Irish Coffee – for €55 you get all the ingredients and equipment, including a bottle of Teeling Small Batch of course, a recipe card and a link to a private virtual Irish Coffee masterclass. Chocolate pairing and whiskey cocktail masterclasses are also available.
Then there are the hampers, each filled with barrel-aged chocolate, Teeling rooftop honey, beer collaborations, craft cocktails in bottles and cans, and of course bottles of award-winning Teeling Whiskey. Choose from the Teeling Small Batch hamper at €60, or the premium #SupportLocal hamper, containing items from local producers, at €100.
