Product Information

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). 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. 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.

Writers’ Tears – Copper Pot is one of the highest rated Irish Whiskeys in Jim Murray’s iconic “Whiskey Bible” and is also included in Ian Buxton’s publication “101 World Whiskeys To Try Before You Die”. Established in 1999 by husband and wife, Bernard and Rosemary Walsh, and located in Ireland’s Ancient East region on the 18 th century Royal Oak estate; Walsh Whiskey Distillery is a leading producer of premium and super-premium, triple-distilled, craft, Irish whiskeys – Writers’ Tears and The Irishman. Demand for these critically acclaimed whiskeys currently exceeds available supply in the 45 countries they are distributed to worldwide. Writers’ Tears is an Irish whiskey that comes from a blend of single pot still and single malt Irish whiskies – making it relatively unique in the burgeoning Irish whisky scene. Many would consider pot still the definitive Irish style, but with the addition of single malt, and no grain whiskies present, Writers’ Tears is really trying to stand out. The mashbill consists of 60% malted and 40% un-malted barley – with the un-malted component historically being a hallmark of Irish whiskies. This whiskey remains non-age stated and is sourced from an unnamed Irish distillery and then blended and bottled by Walsh Whiskey Distillery in Dublin. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Details of the Writers’ Tears Ulysses Centenary activities will be posted on their social channels;

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? 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. Ulysses Joyce’s epic novel is about regular people going about their lives on a single day in Dublin – 16th June, 1904. The novel is celebrated on the same historic date every year. The day is known as ‘Bloomsday’, after the main character Leopold Bloom, and Joycean enthusiasts dress in Victorian attire and visit venues that feature in the novel all across Dublin.

The flavor profile presents an upfront combination of honey and apple, followed by vanilla, caramel, and a subtle hint of oak spice.

On the nose: A definite sandalwood note on the nose along with pine, white chocolate and caramel. Underneath this are flashes of apple and pear and eventually some citrus zest. The nose does feel rather tight and closed though. Water does improve things making the nose more overtly fruity with dry woody spice and citrus oils.Making the announcement, Walsh Whiskey Distillery Commercial Director, John Kelly, said : “ Writers’ Tears has developed a strong following since we first launched it in the United States in late 2015.

Lingering sweetness with very little spice. Soft and delicate finish with little to no burn. A very easy drinker.

The blend is roughly 60% malt and 40% pot still and the grain is unpeated. The nose is sweet, revealing notes of honey and caramel, accompanied by a touch of malt and a hint of fresh apple.
