Product description
Writer's Tears is a one-of-a-kind Irish whiskey, a blend of single pot still (60%) and single malt (40%) distillates aged in white American oak barrels.
Every drop of whiskey is triple distilled, although its creators do not reveal the origin of the ingredients. Writer's Tears debuted in 2009 and received very positive reviews, which encouraged its creators, Bernard and Rosemary Walsh, to expand the offer. The Cask Strength edition was released two years later and hits the market annually in limited quantities. The twelfth batch from 2022 consisted of 7,920 bottles and was composed of whiskey aged in bourbon barrels.
Nose: roasted grain, honey, vanilla, brown sugar, cappuccino, apples, pear drops, candied citrus peel, notes of pepper and oak.
Flavor: vanilla pudding, heather honey, pralines, stewed apples, pears, grapes, cinnamon buns, cloves, mint leaf and oak.
Finish: medium long, with notes of caramel, vanilla, milk fudge, orchard fruit, a touch of cinnamon and oak.
