Writers Tears Double Oak Irish Whiskey
Whiskey : Irish
Description
Writers’ Tears is part of the Walsh Whiskey portfolio, a producer known for reviving traditional styles of Irish whiskey with a modern focus on quality and craftsmanship. The brand draws inspiration from Ireland’s long literary heritage, playfully referencing the idea that great Irish writers may have found both inspiration and comfort in a glass of whiskey.
The Writers’ Tears Double Oak expression combines two key elements of Irish whiskey maturation: American oak bourbon barrels and French oak Cognac casks. This dual maturation brings together vanilla sweetness from the bourbon casks with the fruit-driven richness and gentle spice imparted by Cognac oak. The whiskey is bottled at 46% ABV, allowing the layered flavours developed during maturation to remain vivid and expressive.
Colour:
Bright golden amber with warm copper tones.
Nose:
Fragrant aromas of honey, vanilla and orchard fruit lead the bouquet. Notes of citrus peel, toasted oak and a hint of spice emerge with time.
Palate:
Smooth and rounded, showing flavours of pear, apple and gentle malt sweetness. Vanilla and caramel from the bourbon casks combine with richer dried fruit and soft spice from the Cognac oak, creating a balanced and layered profile.
Finish:
Medium to long, leaving lingering notes of honey, toasted oak and light spice.
