Writers Tears Copper Pot & 2 Glasses Gift Pack

Writers Tears is a vatting of Pure Pot Still and Single Malt Irish Whiskey. The resulting whiskey is one of Ireland’s highest rated whiskies in the Whisky Bible of Jim Murray.

NOSE

A glossy pot still character: rather than the usual fruity firmness, the recognizable Pot still traits are shrouded in soft honey tones which dovetail with lightening kumquat-citrus notes. Quite a curious, but always deliciously appealing animal.

PALATE

Works beautifully well: the arrival is an alternating delivery of hard and soft waves, the former showing a more bitter, almost myopic determination to hammer home its traditional Pot Still stand point; the sweeter, more yielding notes dissolve with little or no resistance, leaving an acacia honeyed trail; towards the middle a juicier malt element mingles with soft vanilla but the pot still character never goes away.

FINISH

Relatively long with perhaps the pot still, with an old fashioned cough sweet fruitiness, lingering longest, though it does retain its honeyed accompaniment for the most part.
