Teeling Christmas Batch Returns to Irish Airports

Teeling Whiskey has once again partnered with airport retailer Aer Rianta International (ARI) to launch its limited-edition Christmas Batch Irish whiskey. The bottling, now in its second year following a sell-out debut, is available exclusively at The Irish Whiskey Collection in Dublin and Cork Airport Duty Free for the festive season.

The triple-distilled whiskey is crafted from a blend of hand-selected malt and grain whiskeys.

It was matured in a combination of Port, red wine, and Sherry casks.

Bottled at 46% ABV, the expression is non-chill-filtered, consistent with the core Teeling Whiskey range.

This year’s release includes a new secondary gift carton to enhance its collectability.

According to official notes from the brand, the whiskey has flavors of rich brown sugar, Christmas pudding, allspice, sweet toffee, and dried fruits.

As reported by Irish Whiskey Magazine, Stephen Teeling, sales and marketing director at Teeling Whiskey, said: “The response blew us away, with the release selling out in record time, so we’re excited to bring it back for a second year. This year’s batch continues to embody our commitment to innovation and quality but we have added a secondary gift carton to add an extra element of collectability to the 2025 release.”

He noted the collaboration with ARI, the world’s largest single retailer of Irish whiskey, was a key part of the travel retail exclusive.

Damien Smith, a buyer for ARI, also commented on the partnership.

As reported by Irish Whiskey Magazine, he added: “This exciting collaboration with Teeling Whiskey is the latest chapter in our whiskey journey of discovery. There’s something magical about this whiskey. The rich flavours that dance on the palate, it’s like capturing the essence of the holiday season in a glass. Undoubtedly, this will make for a unique Christmas gift for any whiskey lover.”

The Teeling Whiskey Christmas Batch is available now for passengers departing from or transiting through Dublin and Cork.

It is priced at €55 for duty-paid and €42 for duty-free.
