Teeling Whiskey, the Dublin distillers, have landed the award for "World’s Best Single Pot Still" for their Wonders of Wood Single Pot Still.
The company received the honour at the 2022 World Whiskies Awards ceremony held in the Honourable Artillery Company in London on Thursday 24th March 2022.
The award comes only a few years after Teeling landed “World’s Best Single Malt” at the same award ceremony back in 2019, making it the first whiskey to be honoured across two different categories.
A panel of internationally recognised whiskey experts chose Teeling Whiskey’s Wonders of Wood Single Pot Still for the top gong.
The Teeling Whiskey Wonders of Wood (WOW) Single Pot Still is a new limited edition series of unique bottlings of Dublin distilled Single Pot Still given maturation in unique wood barrels. The first edition of the WOW bottlings consists of Single Pot Still crafted from a recipe of 50% malted barley and 50% un-malted barley, which has been triple distilled in the Teeling Whiskey Distillery in Dublin and then fully matured in virgin Chinkapin American White Oak barrels.

Speaking on the award win, Jack Teeling, Founder and Managing Director of Teeling Whiskey said; “Since reviving our old family trademark of Teeling Whiskey back in 2012, we have endeavoured to make sure every bottle of Irish whiskey is of the highest quality.
"To be honoured once as the World Best Single Malt back in 2019 felt like a pinnacle of all our efforts. However, being honoured as the World’s Best for the second time, this time for our Dublin distilled Single Pot Still against well-established competitors who have dominated the Single Pot Still category, has proven our new distillery is world-class."
To add to the drink's success, Rob Caldwell, Teeling Whiskey’s Global Brand Ambassador, was chosen as the “World's Best Irish Brand Ambassador” for his efforts in promoting the brand around the world over the last four years.
