Teeling
continues to be recognised for its
quality in the Irish Whiskey category.
 The Teeling Whiskey Company which was
only founded in 2012 is already
recognised by Irish whiskey drinkers for
offering something off the beaten track
from the standard range of Irish
whiskies available, from single grain,
single malt, cask finished as well as an
older more mature selection of aged
Irish whiskey, Teeling has kept Irish
whiskey fans entertained with their
range of quality independent bottlings.
The company recently continued to build
on its reputation as one of the world’s
finest producers of Irish whiskey by
receiving a number of significant awards
from two of the world’s top spirits
competitions; the World Whiskies Awards
and the San Francisco World Spirits
Competition.
First held in 2007, the World Whiskies
Awards search for the very best whiskies
in the world. Teeling Whiskey Irish
Single Malt was honoured with the
accolade of ‘World’s Best’ and founder
and MD of the Teeling Whiskey Company,
Jack Teeling, was awarded the
prestigious title of ‘World’s Best
Global Whisky Ambassador.’ Held in
London, this year's competition saw more
than 300 whiskies put through their
paces with three rounds of rigorous
tastings, to win the coveted title of
the ‘World's Best’.
Further to this, Teeling Whiskey Small
Batch has been honoured the coveted
‘Best Blended Irish Whiskey’ at the San
Francisco World Spirits Competition and
four gold medals were awarded for the
Teeling Small Batch, Single Grain and
Single Malt whiskeys. As the first
comprehensive, International judging
competition ever to be held in the USA
on an annual basis, the San Francisco
World Spirits Competition is one of the
most respected in the industry.

Commenting on the wins, Jack Teeling
said "I am humbled to be named ‘World’s
Best Global Whisky Ambassador’ but more
importantly the reputation for our
whiskeys continues to increase. Over the
past three years, Teeling Whiskey has
been embraced both in Ireland and across
the world in over 35 export markets. We
are extremely proud of the whiskeys we
have produced to date and it is an
honour for our whiskeys to be recognised
as the world’s best in these two
competitions. With construction of our
new distillery in Dublin almost
complete, we are excited to continue to
provide high quality and unique
expressions to Irish whiskey drinkers
around the world."
The Teeling Whiskey Company was founded
by Jack Teeling in 2012 to revive his
family-old trademark of Irish whiskey
and bring distilling back to Dublin,
where Walter Teeling had a distillery in
the Liberties in the 18th century. In
January 2014, The Teeling Whiskey
Company announced a €10 million
investment in a new distillery and
visitor centre at Newmarket in The
Liberties. Work started on site in
August 2014 and is on schedule to open
to the public in May 2015. This will be
the first new distillery in Dublin city
in 125 years.
