About this bottle

Writers' Tears Single Pot Still is a triple-distilled blend of malted and unmalted barley. The first maturation takes place in American oak ex-bourbon barrels. Then the whiskey is finished in PX sherry and Marsala wine hogsheads. While the whiskey was first released in fall 2021 in Ireland, the UK, France, Germany and Holland, the US is to receive its first allotment of 3,000 bottles in February/March 2023. (SRP $79.99)

GoodSpiritsNews 5.0

Nice malty nose with an intriguing blend of high Sherry and mid-range Marsala perfume. Exceptional entry with a smooth malt sweetness enhanced to 11 by the double ex-wine casks. The grape flavors come through after about a minute, but never overwhelm the base spirit. This is as close to a dessert whiskey as we've ever enjoyed. The kind of spirit you want to take home and share your life with. Walsh has hit it out of the park with this release.
