Teeling Wonders of Wood Fourth Edition showcases maturation in virgin Carpathian oak casks from the ancient forests of Central and Eastern Europe. Following the traditional single pot still recipe of 50% malted barley and 50% unmalted barley, the whiskey is triple distilled in Dublin before full maturation in these tightly grained virgin casks. The Carpathian oak contributes high tannin levels and pronounced aromatic qualities, resulting in a bold yet balanced expression bottled at 50% ABV without chill filtration. This release also supports reforestation initiatives through Teeling’s ongoing partnerships. The nose reveals delicate rosewater, candied fruits, and vibrant freshly cut wood aromas. On the palate, bold spices are complemented by juicy red apple, ripe pear, creamy sandalwood undertones, and layered orchard fruit character, achieving a harmonious balance of power and refinement. The finish is clean and satisfying, with subtle puff pastry sweetness, a whisper of campfire smoke, and lingering oak tannins that add depth. This edition stands as one of the more assertive wood-driven expressions in the series, emphasising the spicy and structural contributions of Carpathian oak to Irish single pot still whiskey. With its embossed bottle and premium gift packaging, the Fourth Edition Virgin Carpathian Oak appeals to collectors and those interested in experimental cask maturation. It is best appreciated neat or with a drop of water to explore its full complexity.
