Teeling Distillery was established in Dublin in 2015 by the Teeling Whiskey Company. It was the first new whiskey distillery to have opened in Dublin, once a world whiskey distilling capital, in over 125 years.In fact, with the last of the original Dublin distilleries having closed in 1976, it was the first whiskey distillery to operate in Dublin, once home to at least 37 distilleries, in almost 40 years. The distillery was established by Jack and Stephen Teeling, whose father John Teeling had founded the monopoly-breaking Cooley Distillery in 1987. It is located in the Liberties area of Dublin, close to where Walter Teeling, an ancestor of the family had established a distillery on Marrowbone Lane in 1782. The symbol of the brand, a phoenix rising from a pot still, symbolises the re-establishment of the Teeling whiskey brand. Background In 1782, Walter Teeling established a distillery on Dublin's Marrowbone Lane, in the Liberties area of Dublin, then an epicentre of distilling dubbed the "golden triangle" due to the number of distilleries located in the area. Although now long gone, some of the distilleries in the Liberties area at the time were very large operations, with George Roe's Thomas Street Distillery likely being the largest distillery in the world at its peak. Eventually, the Teeling Distillery was purchased by a larger neighbouring operation, William Jameson & Co., which was also based on Marrowbone Street. However, William Jameson's distillery, run by relatives of the more famous John Jameson, later closed in 1923, having like many Irish distilleries, encountered serious financial difficulties in the early 20th century

50% abv
The Swedish Oak Edition of Teeling’s acclaimed Wonders of Wood series is a bold and distinctive expression of Irish whiskey innovation. This release showcases Teeling’s triple distilled single pot still whiskey matured exclusively in virgin Swedish oak casks—a rare wood type never before used in Irish whiskey production. Harvested from the ancient forests of Sweden, this oak imparts a uniquely spicy and herbal profile, delivering notes of toasted pine, zesty citrus, clove, and sweet vanilla, layered over a rich, oily texture that defines the single pot still style.
Non-chill filtered and bottled at 50% ABV, the Swedish Oak Edition is part of Teeling’s mission to explore how different oaks shape the character of their whiskey. As with all entries in the Wonders of Wood range, Teeling partners with the Tree Council of Ireland, planting native Irish trees for every bottle sold—making this release not only an exploration in flavour but a meaningful contribution to environmental sustainability. Pioneering and full of personality, this limited edition celebrates the fusion of craft, nature, and forward-thinking whiskey making.
