A mixed bag with definite peaks and troughs from the folk at Walsh Whiskey but the stars of the show being the core range expressions rather than the Travel Retail exclusive.
The brand was originally owned by Walsh Whiskey from Ireland but was acquired by Amber, based in Luxembourg. No, alcohol doesn’t expire. It will last for years as long as you store it in a cool place away from sunlight. Writer’s Tears Irish Whiskey is a brilliant whiskey… I just wish that it was fuller and richer and they messed with it less. A combination of rich, buttery, fruity and copper Irish Single Malt and Single Pot Still whiskey it’s a thing of beauty. Truly, it is… or at least it could be. Writers’ Tears – Copper Pot is a unique vatting of Single Malt whiskey and Single Pot Still whiskey which became known as ‘The Champagne of Irish Whiskey’ when it was first fashioned in Ireland in the 1800s. That was a time when Irish whiskey was the world’s number one selling whiskey, before war, prohibition, temperance and political independence took a heavy toll on the Irish whiskey sector in the 20 th century. Royal Oak, Ireland – 14 March 2018: Walsh Whiskey Distillery has announced a major expansion of its highly successful Writers’ Tears– Copper Pot premium Irish whiskey to over 40 of the United States of America in 2018. Writers’ Tears was first distributed in the United States late in 2015 and is already in high demand in 17 states – particularly in California, Florida, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon and Pennsylvania. Distribution of Writers’ Tears– Copper Pot will now more than double under the direction of Disaronno International, Walsh Whiskey Distillery’s US distribution partner.

The Copper Pot is a great value blend that offers excellent value for money, is well balanced and offers enough to keep you returning to the bottle. I feel that if this was delivered at 46% it would be a 7 but I understand this may raise the price a little although I'd happily pay a little extra for more flavour and that I think the extra abv would bring to the table. That being said for the price there is little to argue over. This experience was a precursor to my venture into the liquor shop business, where I had the privilege of curating an extensive collection of liquors, granting me access to thousands of unique bottles from across the globe. The distillery at Royal Oak produces all three forms of Irish whiskey – pot still, malt and grain – from its two production lines, featuring pot stills and column stills, in one still house. The manually operated distillery has the capacity to produce 650,000 cases (two and a half million litres of pure alcohol (LPA’s) or 8 million bottles) of whiskey annually. Set deep in the heart of barley-growing country, directly over the Barrow Valley Aquifer and framed by two hundred year old mighty oaks on the banks of the River Barrow, Royal Oak is the perfect place for creating exceptional quality whiskeys.

Writer’s Tears Irish Whiskey is remarkable. I was not expecting to like a 40%, young, chill-filtered whiskey as much as I am. The blend of Irish Single Malt and Irish Single Pot Still creates a richness and depth that blows past my expectations and has me sitting here smiling like an idiot while typing this up and sipping on a glass.

Rich and heavy it has layers of sweeter fruity flavors and darker malty and candy flavors and aromas that balance each other out quite well. I can’t even imagine what the Writer’s Tears Irish Whiskey would be like at cask strength. I saw that they put one out so I guess I’m going to have to do some hunting. Supported philanthropically by Writers’ Tears, today Sweny’s Pharmacy is a cultural centre dedicated to celebrating Joyce and Ireland’s other great writers through daily readings, both online (Facebook) and in the pharmacy. On the nose: Quite a green and spicy nose. Green apples, lemon thyme, green wood and pot still spice. Honey sweetness comes through in time with malt and a hint of mint. Light milk chocolate notes with new leather too.

Away from the writers’ enjoyment of a dram, the Irish whiskey barons were rebelling against the emergence of what they saw as inferior grain from Coffey Stills. The barons were protective of the traditions that had made their success possible and at that time, one whiskey style was held high above all others. Known as the ‘champagne of Irish whiskey’ it was a master blend of pot still and malt whiskeys, both distilled in copper pots. It was enjoyed by many of the great Irish writers of the day… of course less for its inspirational qualities than its full-bodied, flavoursome taste and creamy texture! It was said that they enjoyed it so much, that when they cried, their tears were of whiskey. Adding ice reduces the heat and softens the oak spice, making it even more enjoyable to sip, although it is already quite pleasant and flavorful as it is. Is it smoky?

Tastings of a range of Writers’ Tears expressions will take place on a Joycean inspired tasting trail across several locations in Dublin for the month of June including: Davy Byrne’s (Duke Street), Doheny and Nesbitt’s (Merrion Row), Kehoe’s (South Anne Street), The Palace Bar (Fleet Street), Mulligan’s (Poolbeg Street), Gibney’s (Malahide), The Taphouse (Ranelagh), The Grange (Deansgrange), The Graduate (Killiney), Fitzgerald’s (Sandycove) and Finnegan’s (Dalkey). The finish is fairly short but the chocolate note remains along with some cinnamon. Score: 6/10 Writers' Tears Cask Strength 2019 - review
I find Writers’ Tears to be a whiskey that stands out for its robustness and flavor, surpassing the typical Irish Whiskey with a satisfying bite on the finish that serves as a pleasant reminder of its whiskey character. Nose: Sugar, confectionaries, bubblegum. After the initial strength of the sweetness - malt and cream come to the forefront, with vanilla and citrus making an appearance as well. This is a light nose, indicative of its 80 proof.In the mouth: A thinnish mouthfeel on arrival but gain fairly sweet with honey, malt, vanilla and orchard fruit. Some lemon before the spice builds – light pepper with grassy, green raw malt. The finish is of medium length and full of warming spice and a hint of lime marmalade.
