Founded in 2002, Teerenpeli is one of Finland's and indeed the Nordics' oldest malt whisky distilleries. Utilising the company's fermentation expertise from their existing brewery and subsequently winning IWSC Worldwide Whisky Producer 2020, Teerenpeli distil in traditional Scottish pot stills using Finnish malted barley. Their now-maturing whiskies will surely make Teerenpeli an internationally renowned producer.

This Oloroso hogshead needs a little time in the glass to open up fully; however, after five minutes or so, rich aromas of dates, barbeque sauce and honeyed gingerbread rise from the glass, building in intensity. The palate is very thick with an excellent mouthfeel, with notes of sugared almonds, blood orange and warm honey. A long finish shows a little cinnamon, and more waxy honey.
