About this whisky
Writers’ Tears is a unique marriage of Aged Single Pot Still and Single Malt Irish whiskey. Distilled entirely from barley, both malted and unmalted, this is a truly special Irish Whiskey. Writers’ Tears is triple distilled, non-peated and matured in Flame Charred American Oak bourbon casks. An award-winning whiskey that has also been included in Ian Buxton’s publication “101 Whiskeys to try before you die”. This whisky is a blend of Single Malt and Single Pot Still whiskeys from the distillery (both distilled in copper pots), qualifying it to be considered a "Single Blend" whiskey.
