Writers' Tears Double Oak Whiskey 700ml
Blended Irish Whiskey - 46% ABV | Walsh Whiskey, Carlow, Ireland
Experience a masterful fusion of tradition and innovation with Writers' Tears Double Oak, a distinctive Irish whiskey crafted through a unique collaboration between Walsh Whiskey and the Legaret family of Cognac. This elegant blend combines single malt and single pot still whiskeys, matured in both American ex-bourbon barrels and French oak Cognac casks, resulting in a rich, oak-forward profile that is both expressive and refined.
Triple distilled and non-chill filtered, this whiskey showcases the hallmark Walsh house style: smooth, complex, and textural. The nose reveals vibrant orchard fruits such as pear, apple, and golden raisin, complemented by sweet vanilla, cinnamon, and subtle pot still spice. On the palate, indulge in a creamy interplay of honeyed malt, orange peel, clove, and toasted almond, beautifully balanced by the tannic elegance imparted by French oak. The Cognac casks contribute nuanced notes of dried apricot and a delicate hint of violet, enhancing the whiskey’s sophistication.
The finish is mid-length, drying, and layered with oak spice, nutmeg, and a flicker of citrus oil, making each sip a thoughtful and compelling experience. Aged meticulously in dual oak environments, this full-bodied whiskey delivers complex dried fruit, spice, and toffee flavors that invite slow savoring.
