  1 rating (average 4.44 of 5)

The Rising Reserve series consists of a range of 5 different releases featuring hand-picked casks of the oldest and most interesting single malt from Teeling whiskey's warehouse.
The second edition of the Rising Reserve series consists of a 21-year-old single malt, which matured in former bourbon barrels for the first 18 years before being refined for three years in fine Marsala barrels. This double maturation and especially the long refinement time in the Sicilian liqueur wine barrels gives the whiskey unmistakable dark fruit notes and orchard fruits, paired with a cinnamon-like spice from brown sugar.
The Rising Reserve Series 2 took home the Masters top prize in the highly competitive Single Malt category at the 2023 Irish Whiskey Masters Awards.
