Teaninich 10 Year Old is a dry Highland Single Malt from the Teaninich distillery in Alness, north of Inverness, released as part of Diageo's Flora & Fauna range. It is the only official bottling from the distillery, which is used by Diageo as a so-called workhorse, producing malt mainly for the Johnnie Walker blends, as well as Vat 69 and Haig. As a result, bottlings of Teaninich as a single malt are rare, and this ten-year-old edition is released consistently.

The distillery is located in Alness in the Scottish Highlands. It was founded in 1817 by Captain Hugh Munro and was run by the Munro family until 1904, when it was sold to Robert Innes Cameron. Eventually, in 1933, it became part of the Distillers Company Limited (DCL), which later evolved into today's Diageo. A distinguishing feature of the plant is the way the mash is prepared. Instead of a mash tun, Teaninich uses a filter press to extract the sugars from the malt. This process requires a different type of mill, as it is important that the milled malt contains no husks, and it is more efficient than a mash tun system, allowing the sugars to be obtained more quickly. Where most malt distilleries use vintage Porteus or Boby roller mills, Teaninich employs a modern Asnong hammer mill, producing a very fine, husk-free flour. The stills, with their thick necks, help lend the spirit an oily quality.

Maturation is based on ex-bourbon casks. The spirit usually matures in refill bourbon casks, with a small proportion aged in sherry casks. The sensory profile is fresh, cereal-like and dry. The nose is fairly aromatic, with fruitiness and greenness – notes of mown hay and chamomile, hints of tree resins and potpourri with a touch of winter spice and a gentle citrus acidity. The palate has a medium structure and pleasing dryness, with notes of barley sugar and cereal, along with oily herbal accents, building citrus acidity and a hint of espresso. The finish is fairly dry, of medium length, with delicate notes of cut grass.

This is a rounded Highland single malt with slightly saline accents, working well as an aperitif. A crisp, dry malt that starts fresh and orange-sweet, with a long, dry finish. Best served in a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a dash of water.
