Sauternes since November 2020

Founded back in 1817, Teaninich Distillery was built on the grounds of Teaninich Castle just south of Alness. This expression has been finished in Sauternes casks since November 2020, giving the dram a complex flavour profile. These Sauternes casks have instilled an abundance of sweet, fruity notes such as peaches in syrup, honey, apricots and banana loaf.

Teaninich Information

The most fascinating part of Teaninich is the hammer mill and mash filter – the only one operational in a Scottish malt distillery – that was installed in 2000. This removes the need for a mash tun, produces clear wort, and heavily influences the whisky's nature: it is flagrant and floral, bringing to mind a freshly cut grassy field in springtime.

In the modern whisky industry, Teaninich is mostly used for blends.
