Writer's Tears Pot Still Irish Whiskey 750ML

The Golden-Era Tribute to Ireland's Creative Spirits

Journey back to the 19th-century golden age of Irish literature and distilling with Writer's Tears "Copper Pot" Irish Whiskey. During this legendary era, Ireland was the undisputed whiskey capital of the world, and legendary authors like Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, and Bram Stoker regularly frequented Dublin's pubs. Folklore says they sought inspiration from the local spirit, weeping "tears of whiskey" when writer's block struck.

Crafted by Bernard and Rosemary Walsh at Walsh Whiskey in County Carlow, this premium expression serves as a brilliant, historical reconstruction of that exact era. It breaks away from modern industrial shortcuts to offer an uncompromised, pot-still-heavy masterpiece tailored for whiskey purists, creative spirits, and everyday collectors.

The definitive structural brilliance of Writer's Tears Copper Pot lies in its unique, old-school mashup framework. While modern Irish whiskeys are heavily blended with cheap column-distilled grain whiskey, this expression is a premium blend composed of 60% Single Pot Still and 40% Single Malt whiskey.

Both components are derived from 100% malted and unmalted barley, completely omitting grain substitutes. The liquid undergoes traditional triple distillation inside copper pot stills, capturing maximum clarity and fruit-forward purity. It sits patiently for years in flame-charred American oak ex-bourbon barrels, proofing down to a beautifully integrated 40% ABV (80 Proof) that highlights the copper's smooth imprint.

Taste Profile & Mixology

• The Profile: A gorgeous, radiant old-gold color in the glass with quick, clean legs. It commands a wonderfully balanced, light-to-medium body, an exceptionally smooth mid-palate texture, and a soft structural entry completely free of heavy smoke or medicinal heat.

• Flavor Highlights: An inviting, perfume-forward nose opens immediately with flashes of sweet vanilla bean, fresh green apple, and ripe pear, beautifully underscored by background layers of floral honey, pot-still baking spice, and toasted oak. The palate follows seamlessly, flooding the mouth with layers of creamy butterscotch, ginger spice, and lemon curd before giving way to a rich, toasted almond character.

• The Finish: Moderate to long, clean, and satisfyingly dry-sweet, resolving with a lip-smacking trail of dark cocoa, toasted oak sugars, and a lingering trail of warm baking spices.

• How to Enjoy: Because of its historic triple-distilled smoothness and pot-still spice, this whiskey is absolutely phenomenal when enjoyed completely neat at room temperature, over a large clear ice rock, or with a tiny splash of spring water to unlock additional floral notes.

• In the Glass: It functions as a magnificent, premium anchor for classic craft mixology, adding rich body where standard blends fall flat. Stir it up with premium sweet vermouth and bitters to construct a highly sophisticated Irish Manhattan, shake it with fresh lemon juice and honey syrup for an elegant Gold Rush, or build a classic Whiskey Highball topped with premium club soda and an orange twist.
