TBWC Teerenpeli 3YO 500mL

Bright, youthful, and distinctly Nordic, the Teerenpeli 3 Year Old from That Boutique-y Whisky Company is a fascinating glimpse into Finland’s emerging whisky scene. While only three years old, this single malt punches well above its age — thanks to high-quality distillate, clean maturation, and a climate that brings out vibrant character early. On the nose, it is malty, fresh, and slightly creamy. Aromas of porridge oats, green apple, and vanilla yogurt mix with subtle hints of birch sap, lemon balm, and fresh-cut grass. There’s a clean, forest-like freshness, suggestive of Scandinavian woods after rainfall. The palate is light to medium-bodied, with flavours of barley sugar, pear drops, and sweet hay, supported by a backbone of light oak spice and a touch of white pepper. A note of unripe banana, marzipan, and pine resin adds complexity without overwhelming the crisp, spirit-driven style. The finish is clean, short to medium in length, with lingering notes of vanilla pod, soft herbal tea, and grain sweetness. It’s a whisky that speaks of purity, provenance, and precision — ideal for fans of younger spirits that show promise and individuality.
