Teerenpeli Brewery and Distilery
Teerenpeli is a family owned brewery and distillery in Lahti, Finland which was founded by Anssi and Marianne Pyysing in 1994. Teerenpeli is the oldest whisky distillery in Finland. Distilling began in 2002.
Teerenpeli’s whiskies are distilled from Finnish malted barley, all of which is grown within 100 miles of the distillery. This barley is grown during the short, but intense Finnish summer which is characterized by long days.
The distillery uses clear and fresh groundwater which is filtered through the Salpausselkä ridge system, a gravel ridge formed by the last ice age, around 10,000 years ago.
All heat required for Teerenpeli’s production is generated with renewable energy.
 | Rating:90 Points, Whisky Advocate“The nose is lavish, with dried orange peel, raisins, plum, gingersnaps, aniseed, and menthol. It’s a thick, malty, statement whisky, rich with raisin, prune juice, heather honey, fig, and walnut, and laced with aniseed and clove. Pleasantly reminiscent of childhood cough medicine, there are long, sweet, syrupy prune notes at the end. It feels like it must be doing you some good.” Teerenpeli’s KASKI is matured only in carefully selected sherry casks. The name KASKI is derived from traditional Finnish farming vocabulary, meaning swidden or burnclearing. This is the first phase of cultivation–a new beginning—representing the fact that KASKI is the first release of Teerenpeli’s Distiller’s Choice Series. Try enjoying a glass of KASKI Single Malt Whisky after dinner. The spirit is then aged for at least 1 year in a combination of heavily toasted new and refill 150 and 225 liter barrels with interchanging oak and acacia staves, It is then aged for in refill Bordeaux wine barriques (mainly American oak) and finished in freshly emptied German pinot noir barriques.

 | Rating:91 Points. Excellent. Highly Recommended, Ultimate Spirits Challenge“Fragrant notes of muddled lime and lavender come forth on the nose. The palate carries over citrus flavors with added elements of coriander, fennel seed, and black pepper, creating an even wave through the mouth before a subtly spicy finish. A well-balanced gin.” Botanicals: Juniper berries, lingonberry, Amarillo aroma hopps, lemon peal, coriander seed, cumin, licorice root, and cinnamon PyyGin´s taste is round, clean and full-bodied with hints of citrus aromas.

 | Rating:96 Points, Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible“This impressive whisky lets the port lead the dance, but never treads on the toes of its partner. The nose reveals prominent cask influences of pomegranate, inky plum flesh, blackberry, and gummy cherries, with a supporting cast of honeycomb, dried herbs, and bay leaf. It jinks and dodges between dried peel, fudge, baked orange, vanilla, and fine spice notes before developing into a sweet ripe cherry and red apple finale.”Nose: Strong fruitiness, roasted sugar flavors, well balanced with a malty sweetness. Nose: Strong fruitiness, roasted sugar flavors, well balanced with a malty sweetness. Flavor: Smooth with a hint of black pepper and port wine notes. Finish: Long and pleasant. |
