  1. Dram Brigade scored this whisky 89 points Expert Senior

    For the first time, I get a very strong durian fruit flavor in a Scotch whisky.
    • Nose
      91 91
      Fresh cut fruits on a metal tray with ice, sugar glazed pineapple, sugar-coated corn flakes, candied roasted almond, pu-erh tea. After a sip, dry sauna wood with spilled bourbon. The bourbon note is noticeable stronger after sips.
    • Taste
      90 90
      Yellow fruits bomb! First is the pineapple, ripe banana, mango, and it keep on becoming sweeter yellow fruits. And at the end, the king of fruits - Durian! Definitely the first time for me to get durian in a Scotch whisky! Some really delicate smoke and light lapsang tea dryness behind.
    • Finish
      88 88
      Medium, with durian sweetness and slight bitterness with pineapple sharpness.

  9. Cloverdram scored this whisky 93 points Newbie

    Nose --- 94

    Palate --- 92

    Finish --- 93

    Another superb, uber-aged Cooley fruit bomb from Teeling. Nose is heavenly tropical squared, and the creamy palate is refreshing and full of ripe fruit. The finish is long, warm, and has echoes of heather honey and peat smoke. I first tried this at a modest ski-in cabin at Copper Mountain after a long day of skiing. And (no joke), the staff had put a chilled "Welcome !" tropical fruit sampler on the kitchen counter. Drinking this beside the firepit at sunset, I had no need of the actual fruit.

  10. Cloverdram scored this whisky 93 points Newbie

    Splendid fruit salad on nose and palate. Mouthfeel is lively and creamy, and the finish finds spices and a touch of tobacco amidst the citrus and tropical fruits. Rather dangerously drinkable.

    Blenders glass.
    Herb spices, in aroma and taste, vanilla, bitter wormwood, black pepper, lemongrass, cilantro and many more different herbs that I can’t isolate (Sicilian mixtures of herbs for fish).
    The aftertaste is long, tart.
    Interesting hammer.

  18. aphex scored this whisky 91 points Connoisseur

    This one reminds me a little of the Nose Art Monkey Mask from Whisky Doris with the same earthiness but less punch. Not a bad comparison.
    Dangerous and excellent whisky.
    • Nose
      Gentle, a bit closed at first but it opens after a few minutes. Tropical fruits (pineapples, grapefruits, passion fruits, mangoes), a touch of vanilla, hints of pencil shavings, earthy notes. Hints of red fruits syrup. A veil of peat smoke. With time, custard notes.
    • Taste
      Creamy and fruity with red berries at first and then grapefruits, pineapples, passion fruits and lemons. A touch of earthy peat again. Orange peels.
    • Finish
      Long, lingering tropical notes, light mentholated notes, a touch of spicy oak, a pinch of salt.

    Superb exotic Teeling, and particularly expressive. (01/01/2021)

    Tasted again a year later (12/26/2021), we also have a slight superb floral nose on the nose. Even more exotic than in my memories.
    • Nose
      91 91
      The nose is very pretty and immediately seductive.
      You immediately feel a creamy side.
      We start with the exotic, with papaya, mango.
      Pistachios and roasted almonds, aromatic herbs.
      A very light white truffle, with a little undergrowth.
      A little burnt caramel.
    • Taste
      92 92
      In the mouth we continue in the line of the nose. It's creamy and immediately intense.
      Papaya, mango, citrus, lemon, yuzu.
      White pepper, milk chocolate.
      Light leather and tobacco. Light wood.
      Aromatic herbs (thyme, coriander, basil?)

      Simple but terribly effective.
    • Finish
      92 92
      Fairly light finish, on exoticism, fresh herbs (mint, coriander), salted butter caramel, lime zest.

    Teeling 24 YO
    The most comfortable whisky that I have had a chance to drink ????????????
    Vintage 08.2016
    Bourbon & Sauternes Casks
    Number of bottles 5000
    alc. 46% vol.
    The aroma is light, casual, sweetish.
    Vanilla, sweet berries, watermelon rind, some spices, noble spirit of the tree.
    We breathed O2 for 5-7 minutes and new horizons are opening before us ????. Berry sourness has appeared and now these are not easy sweet berries, but a berry mix, an assortment of berries, dark and red, sour and sweet, ripe and overripe. Chewing gum is a cross between bubble gum and love is. Not without tropical fruits and banana ????????????????.
    Class, I love these scents. where there is no excessive pressure and concentration, where everything is in its place.
    Taste. The first sip is practically nothing, the second sip and the same ????, maybe yesterday's 63.7% killed my receptors to hell ????????????. On the third sip, everything fell into place ????.
    Sweet, full-bodied. Vanilla, some citrus peel, tropical fruits, sweet berries. There is pepper, noble tobacco, wood and they complement the overall picture wonderfully.
    The finish is long, sweetish with a pleasant bitterness. Vanilla, berry sourness, wet wood, delicate chocolate trail.

    This is probably the most comfortable whisky in terms of drinkability that I have ever tried, but this is not the most important quality of this drink.
    This whisky is "alive", it changes, it develops and constantly plays with you with new aromas, flavors and shades.

    I would never have believed that everything would turn out like this. For 3 years I've been drawn to the thought: "I have never tested the Teeling24". I had the dull feeling that I had missed something special. Actually, I don't really care much about prices and placements or, like here, “The best whisky in the world”. I suspect everything. But now a bargain has made me enjoy it in peace. Sorry in advance: I'm sure a bit euphoric and angry with these notes. That doesn't really suit me, but it goes very well with this “one-of-a-kind” in a masterly guise. Just the design of the box plus this decanter are made so elegant and the contents are so much more. EVERYTHING fits here for me! I'm always looking for it sample after sample and there it is again:
    "The Unicorn". Thank you for this wonderful hobby.
    • Nose
      Rich tropical fruit notes in banana pineapple style. Sweet and sour grape and berry basket with a touch of Ex-Sauternes and a delicate Connemara peat note. Certainly also wanted in Vatting with their own good old barrels. Now there are also lighter fruits in the background. Very discreet and very well done. Hopefully the nose will hold out. Then it becomes a complex matter. Time is of the essence here. No rush please!
    • Taste
      I have to tell you something beforehand. The Master Distiller Hunt explains in a video by Rex & Daniel: https://youtu.be/sujKBgETkLo how they discovered a special yeast variation for white wines from South Africa, which was also used here. It is said that it gives the impression that you are actually eating a "pink grapefruit". I only had to smile when I heard that, because I know this absolutely special taste very well. This is my favorite fruit in winter. I thought it was a little joke to conjure up this effect in a whisky. Hey guys i can tell you Those who like that cannot avoid this bottle. The hammer! The entire texture is dominated by this Pink Grape mouthfeel that you feel exactly like that when you enjoy the fruit. In addition, some peat and tobacco notes are mixed with salty almonds. Tropical sweet, sour and bitter alternate. Work very harmoniously. Masterful barrel management. Mineral and earthy, it goes into the transition to the finale. I would like to pause here. The unicorn experience :)
    • Finish
      Without question, very long. Sweet, sour, bitter and salty, it says goodbye with an exotic aftertaste on a high level. Thanks to the “Master Hunt” team. This yeast was a stroke of luck. But also the masterful craft around it all comes to the point. Milestone! For me the whisky with the highest recognition value and the most beautiful one on the shelf. The No.1!

    Thick and chewy mouth feel. Quite delicate entry Quite creamy and oily. fresh lemoncello. Candied fruits like the nose on the palate. Passion fruit purée. Very fresh. Finish is quite tart. Nose and palate is excellent. Little short on the finish though.
    Just a delicious whisky.

    N- Snacking on a tropical fruit platter with icing sugar next to a Diesel pump station. Big oak extract that integrated so well with the sweet fruit liquid resulted this unique chains of aromas. Malty, popcorn with chocolate caramel, orange marmalade with fruit peels, dragon fruit syrup, cut white onion with savoury sweetness and lastly a tea-ish tannin. Distinctive, bright, solid and highly evolving, can't take my nose away from this beauty, pretty much ticks on all boxes, a winning aroma for sure. (96/24)

    Perhaps a 89 pointer now. 3 months later after oxidised. It has lost its charm of being refreshing on the finishing.

    Kaleidoscope

    This 24 years old Teeling is part of the oldest stocks that the Teeling brothers were able to ‘liberate’ from the old Cooley stocks. The whisky first matured in former bourbon casks and then got a finish on Sauternes casks. Sauternes is of course the sweet dessert wine from France.

    It is quite a fruit bomb on the nose, with apples, pears and some tropical notes. Banana flambéed! Nectarine, red berries… there is also a soft smoky note in there! And guimauve! Hurray – I love guimauve and I do not come across it often in whisky. A beautiful nose that in all honesty reminds me a bit of Littlemill.

    Stop the press! It is tropically sweet on the palate, but with benefits! Some smoke, earth, putty and heathery honey. Peat? Yes, I do believe so. I reckon a cask of Connemara went into the mix here. Delicious. A veritable kaleidoscope of taste.

    The finish is long, truly long. The peat smoke clears slowly to make room for the sweet, dried, but still quite exotic fruit.

    Boy, simply grand, yes. But not cheap in the least with a price tag of around 400 EUR. But what a whisky…

    Important information about the 08/2016 vs. 08/2017

    **Teeling 24 Year-Old Single Malt – 2016 & 2017 Release clarification**

    There has been a few queries about whether it was the 2016 or 2017 release of Teeling 24 Year-Old that recently won the world’s Best Single Malt at the World Whisky Awards. Both releases are from exactly the same vatting with the whisky being distilled in 1991 and matured in Bourbon casks before being further matured in Sauterne sweet wine barrels. These casks were then vatted together and split into two batches, half for the 2016 release and half for the 2017 release. The whisky entered into the awards came from this vatting and was from the tasting stock rather than being from a particular release. This explains why all the whisky is bottled as 24 year-old despite the 2017 release being bottled a year later. 2016 release was the stock image used when the award was first announced but both releases are the same fantastic whisky.

    Enthusiasm Nose: 5/5 Palate: 4/5 Final: 3/5 Whisky n ° 1754
    • Nose
      Exotic fruits that are intense but tend to fade. Almonds, caramel. We are in the Littlemill sphere. Golden malt, chocolate. Vanilla rising in strength. Evocation of a bourbon.
    • Taste
      In the mouth, sweet, creamy, greedy, on the fruits. Very just spicy and juicy. But I admit that I waited a bit more complexity.
    • Finish
      The fruits are more supported in the final, but on the other hand it lacks impact, become almost too wise. The opening is good for him.

    Here’s another one I’d missed previously, hidden from view.

    N: Smells like one of those flawless noses, one mainly talking of meaty-putty dry fruits. There’s some poke but it doesn’t mind some water.
    T: Woody, meaty putty-dry fruits - so more of the same really. Pokey, somewhat blocky/clogged, and the palate at least doesn’t free up with the time I allowed.
    F: Thankfully at the tail it relaxes into a deep fresh and heather honey, wrapping up with a crystal-heathery sugar finish.
    C: Very good but I’ll take the 14yo over it.Scores a B

    Less to my taste than the # 8381 but very good and dangerously drinkable! After aeration note reviewed at 92/93. It is in a different register than the # 8381 but just as good if not more.
    • Nose
      Patissière and yeast notes, slightly smoky (dried hay), less fruity than expected despite the presence of yellow and exotic fruits. After a few days of aeration, the fruity and peaty notes are even more present.
    • Taste
      The reduction is perfect, the alcohol is not aggressive but the beginning of mouth offers punch, on the smoked side and even slightly peated. A fruity kick, mango, pineapple appears in the second part of the mouth. This peaty feeling gives it a lot of relief. After a few days of aeration: the fruity side is more present. It's really excellent.
    • Finish
      The final, of medium intensity, continues on the fruity side and a light smoked
