Leading Dutch distillery Toorank rebrands as Dutch Spirits

April 13, 2017 by Gary Leave a Comment

As part of the change, Dutch Spirits has launched a new website

Leading Dutch distiller, Toorank, has today announced a full rebrand and unveiled its new corporate identity, Dutch Spirits. The rebrand reflects the company’s ambition to become a global champion of Dutch drinks innovation as it embarks on a new growth phase that will take it beyond its current core markets.

Since owner Toon Blij bought Toorank from Metaxa in 1990, the business has grown to become a truly global player, trading in 50 markets worldwide, and is renowned for producing award-winning spirits. The company produces liquid for its own premium brands, such as Sloane’s Premium Dry Gin, as well as for an extensive list of over 1,300 challenger, third party and private label brands.

The decision to change our corporate identity was a result of our ambition to grow, both at home and internationally. We want to become the biggest Dutch distilling group and felt we needed a strong identity to achieve this.

We wanted an identity that reflected our Dutch heritage, as well as the passion and identity of our workforce, hence Dutch Spirits.
– Andy Mallows: Managing Director

Dutch Spirits’ innovative and creative approach to distilling has been sharpened by a long history of creating quality products both for its own portfolio and in successful partnerships, which it supports with its expansive and in-depth market knowledge.

The company has a strong track record in developing new, great tasting products for clients ranging from liqueurs to gins and whiskies to vodkas. Dutch Spirits provides total flavour concepts and a service that extends to label design, bottles, boxes and other promotional materials as well as manufacturing and looking after suppliers.

The one common ingredient across all our drinks is the people that work at Dutch Spirits. They are Dutch Spirits’ heart and soul and provide quality products that incorporate a highly flexible mix of innovation, design skills and manufacturing know-how.

Dutch Spirits also has the scale across its Dutch and Polish facilities to produce 90 million bottles annually, which ensures that partnerships with third parties have the best possible chance of commercial success.

We are more than a ‘one stop shop’, we will take you through all the steps and, most importantly, have an instinct for what works.

As part of the change, Dutch Spirits has launched a new website – www.dutchspirits.com – which looks to reflect a simplistic theme allowing its own products and those of its partners to shine.

We want to become the global partner of choice for the development, production and supply of spirits portfolios. As a family-owned business, we have developed a reputation for producing the world’s best tasting spirits and this will be the foundation of our future success.

Sampling Teeling’s The Revival Volume III!

April 13, 2017 by Gary Leave a Comment

The Revival Vol. III joins Teeling Whiskey’s range of award winning Irish whiskeys

Teeling Whiskey Unveils Third Bottling of The Revival Single Malt

Teeling Whiskey, Ireland’s leading independent Irish whiskey producer, is proud to unveil the third bottling of “The Revival”, a limited edition commemorative Single Malt. The Revival Volume III is being released to celebrate the 18-month anniversary of the opening of the Teeling Whiskey Distillery and will be limited to only 10,000 bottles.

The original Revival bottling was produced in 2015 to mark the opening of the Teeling Whiskey Distillery, the first new distillery in Dublin in over 125 years. The third edition of this bottling consists of a 14-Year-Old Single Malt Irish whiskey distilled in 2002, initially matured in ex-Bourbon casks before being given further maturation in 350 litre ex-Pineau Des Charentes casks to impart an extra pressed grape and dried fruit flavour unique to Irish whiskey. Further, the Revival Vol. III has been bottled at 46% ABV with no chill filtration to complete an Irish whiskey of true character.

The Revival Vol. III joins Teeling Whiskey’s range of award winning Irish whiskeys which have collected over 100 international awards over the past four years. The maturation from the ex-Pineau Des Charentes casks creates a unique palette pteasing taste profile, reminiscent of dried fruit and toffee pineapple rounded off with a toasted almond and dark chocolate bitterness that’s balanced perfectly with a lingering soft sweetness. A signature bouquet of honey and hazelnuts flavours tops off the dark chocolate undertones of this limited edition Single Malt.

It is hard to believe we are just 18 months away from having Irish whiskey distilled from our new distillery in Dublin and to honour this half way point we have decided to release something very unique to mark the occasion with the first ever Pineau des Charentes finished Irish whiskey.

Our third Revival release will be limited to only 10,000 bottles and sold both through our distillery as well as our domestic and international distributors.
– Jack Teeling: Founder and Managing Director of the Teeling Whiskey Company

Pineau des Charentes is a regional French aperitif, made in the southwestern regions of Charente, Charente-Maritime and, to a much lesser extent, Dordogne in western France. It is a fortified wine made from either fresh, unfermented grape juice or a blend of lightly fermented grape must, to which a Cognac eau-de-vie is added and then matured in oak barrels.

The Revival Vol III 14-Year-Old will retail for approximately £120.00 (GBP£110.00). The product will be available in Ireland through the Teeling Distillery in Newmarket Dublin 8, Dublin Airport, the Celtic Whiskey Stop and all good independent off licences and will then be rolled out to international markets such as the UK, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Denmark and Italy.

The Revival Vol III 14 Year Old will retail for approximately £110.00.

Teeling Whiskey has very kindly sent me a sample. So, what did I think? Here are my tasting notes …

Tasting Notes – Teeling Whiskey The Revival III (46%)


Nose: Crisp green apples and pears. Caramel infused with rich vanilla.

Palate: Creamy mouthfeel. Caramel and cooked apple.

Finish: Quite dry, salty with pleasantly subtle peppery spices that grow in intensity. A Long finish.

Overall: Another powerful alcohol hit, much akin to the I & II, but appreciably smoother. Not my favourite of the trio but a worthy dram all the same.

Many thanks to Teeling Whiskey (@TeelingWhiskey) for sending the sample!
