A single pot still whiskey with a unique maturation
The fourth edition in the Wonders of Wood series is a Single Pot Still whiskey made to a classic Irish mash bill. The Teeling whiskey is crafted from 50% malted barley and 50% unmalted barley, and is triple-distilled at the Teeling Distillery in Dublin.
After distillation, the whiskey is matured in rare virgin Carpathian oak casks. This wood hails from the ancient forests of the Carpathian Mountains in Eastern Europe. Oaks from this region are renowned for their striking grain and high tannin content.
The result is a whiskey with a distinctive character: bold spice and woody depth, lifted by bright fruit notes and a gentle sweetness.
What does this special Teeling whiskey taste like?
The distillery has shared detailed tasting notes for this Irish single pot still whiskey. Here’s the breakdown:
- Nose: Rosewater, candied fruit, and freshly sawn wood.
- Palate: Powerful spice with notes of apple, pear, and sandalwood.
- Finish: Clean and lingering, with hints of puff pastry and campfire smoke.
The whiskey is bottled at 50% alcohol by volume (ABV).
Where can you buy this special Wonders of Wood Carpathian Oak whiskey?
The Teeling Wonders of Wood Series 4 Carpathian Oak is currently available via Teeling’s online shop and at selected Irish retailers. The recommended price is around €80 per bottle.
A wider international release is planned for 2026, making the whiskey available in additional markets at a later date.

- Hi Yvonne, Thank you for your response and for sharing the video. Unfortunately, the evidence you referred to consists only of two people talking about the whisky, without any explanation or identification. We have not spoken to the individuals in the video ourselves, nor can we verify who they are. We describe it as a Chinese whisky because it is released by a Chinese distillery. As you mentioned, the distillery has chosen to label the product as “pure malt” instead of “Chinese whisky.” Based on that, we do not believe they are doing anything illegal.M0nkey16-11-2025

- Let's keep this factually correct. Pernod Ricard DID NOT release a Chinese whisky. Their first output from The Chuan (the name of the distillery in Sichuan, China) wasn't fit for bottling. What they actually bottled was imported Scotch whisky. This is why the product is called "PURE MALT" and not "Chinese Whisky" - because Pure Malt is not a regulated term - this is not a secret. This was exposed about a week after they released it. There were even videos about their own staff on site admitting it was made from imported whisky - which Pernod Ricard got the lawyers onto to get the video pulled. I've got a copy if you want it.Yvonne09-10-2025
