Teaninich Single Grain Scotch Whisky Natural Cask Strength 8 Year is a youthful, high-intensity expression from one of the Highlands’ most workhorse distilleries, better known for its role in major blends than for single-grain bottlings. Distilled at Teaninich and bottled at full natural strength, this whisky offers a raw, unfiltered look at grain spirit in its early but expressive maturity.
The nose is vibrant and cereal-forward, with notes of vanilla cream, fresh oak, coconut, and light toffee, followed by hints of green apple and sweet malt. On the palate, the cask-strength presentation delivers weight and energy—sweet grain, vanilla fudge, toasted oak, and gentle spice unfold with a creamy texture, balanced by youthful brightness rather than heavy wood influence.
The finish is warming and clean, lingering with vanilla, oak sweetness, and light peppery spice. Bottled at natural cask strength (60.3% ABV) in a 750 ml format, this 8-year-old Teaninich single grain will appeal to drinkers interested in high-proof Scotch with clarity, power, and an honest distillery character.
Cask Program:
This whisky is matured exclusively in American oak casks, primarily ex-bourbon barrels, with no secondary finishing. The cask program emphasizes vanilla, sweetness, and texture while allowing the grain spirit’s creamy, cereal-driven profile to remain front and center, showcasing structure and freshness rather than extended oak development.
