Teeling
Whiskey appoint Infinium Spirits as
their exclusive US importer.
 Teeling
Whiskey, the leading independent Irish
whiskey company, has appointed Infinium
Spirits as their exclusive importer of
the Teeling Whiskey portfolio of premium
Irish whiskey brands to the US market.
The US is the largest and fastest
growing market for Irish whiskey with
sales of 2.2m cases in 2012 and is now a
larger category than Scottish single
malts. Irish whiskey sales have risen
over 400% since 2002 with continued
growth in excess of 20% forecasted for
2014 and beyond.
The Teeling family whiskey heritage
dates back to distilling in Dublin in
1782 when Walter Teeling set up a
distillery in Marrowbone Lane in the
Liberties. Jack and his brother Stephen,
Sales & Marketing Director, are the
current generation of Teelings involved
in the Irish whiskey industry.
Teeling Whiskey is a small batch
bottling from hand selected casks of
grain and malt Irish whiskey which are
further matured in former rum barrels.
Teeling Whiskey is bottled at 46% with
no chill filtration which provides an
extra sweet and smooth flavor making it
truly a unique Irish whiskey. While
initially starting out as an independent
bottler, the aim of the new generation
of Teelings is to bring Teeling Whiskey
home by establishing the first new
whiskey distillery in Dublin in over 125
years.
Jack Teeling, founder of the Teeling
Whiskey Company, commented, "We are
delighted to be able to partner with
Infinium Spirits on launching our
Teeling Whiskey brand in the US market.
Given the importance of the US for any
Irish whiskey we took our time selecting
our importer and believe we have found a
like-minded family-owned partner to take
advantage of the opportunity for our
unique expressions of Irish whiskey. We
look forward to working with the
Infinium team and getting our Teeling
whiskey on back bars and shelves in the
US."
Infinium Spirits is a company focused on
developing distinctive brands in the
premium and ultra-premium segments of
the US spirits industry.
