Writers Tears Single Pot Tequila Cask Irish Whisky

Produced by Walsh Whiskey in Royal Oak, County Carlow, Ireland, this limited-edition expression marries traditional triple-distilled Irish single pot still whiskey with a unique finish in premium Añejo tequila casks from Mexico. The signature pot still character, distilled from a mix of malted and unmalted barley, gains bright floral accents, earthly agave sweetness, and crisp pepper notes alongside classic orchard fruit and honeyed grain.

Food Pairing: Tacos al pastor, grilled fish with mango salsa, sharp white Cheddar, dark chocolate with sea salt, or spicy ceviche.

Tasting Notes: Bright pale gold with vibrant yellow highlights and light-to-medium viscosity along the glass.

Nose: Fresh and aromatic, opening with green apple, vanilla, and honeyed cereal, followed by subtle herbal agave, earthy pepper, and citrus zest.

Palate: Creamy and spicy on the palate, featuring sweet pot still spices, vanilla, and ripe pear upfront before evolving into roasted agave, white pepper, and light oak tannins.

Finish: Medium-to-long, crisp, and warming with lingering notes of herbal pepper, sweet orchard fruit, and gentle wood spice.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a Glencairn glass, or with a splash of pure water.
