Writers’ Tears Copper Pot is a unique blend of aged Single Pot Still and aged Single Malt Irish Whiskey. Triple distilled, non-peated and matured and aged entirely in American Oak bourbon casks. A gold Medal winner at the International Spirits Challenge in London and one of the highest rated Irish Whiskeys in Jim Murray’s Iconic “Whiskey Bible” - “Altogether a very unusual Irish Whiskey, a throwback to the last century where spiced Pure Pot Still whiskey was married with Floral Single Malt” – Jim Murray . It has also been included in Ian Buxton’s publication “101 Whiskeys to try before you die”.
Writers’ Tears is a unique style of whiskey embedded in Irish history. At a time when Irish whiskey was distilled exclusively in copper pot stills, two styles flourished: Single Malt and Single Pot Still. The marriage of both styles became known as 'The Champagne of Irish Whiskey' and was a style beloved of many of the Irish literary greats of the time. Writers' Tears is a recreation of that fabled 19th century whiskey and a tribute to Ireland's creative past, present and future.
