Review: Writers Tears Copper Pot Irish Whiskey

by Jeff Ellingson

Writers Tears Copper Pot Irish Whiskey was launched in 2009 by the husband and wife team of Bernard and Rosemary Walsh.  Some may know this as Writers Tears, or Writers Tears Original Irish Whiskey.  It is made from a blend of single malt and pure pot still whiskey that is triple distilled and aged in American bourbon barrels.  I believe the blend is 60% pure pot still and 40% single malt, but some sites have described the blend to be 40% pot still and 60% single malt.  Two things for sure, no grain whiskey is used, and the whiskey is sourced from another distillery.  Writers Tears is named for the Irish writers of the 19th and early 20th century who imbibed in Irish whiskey as a cure for writers block.  During that period Ireland was the worlds leading producer of whiskey and also home to some of the worlds best writers including George Bernard Shaw, James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, WB Yeats, and Samuel Beckett.  The aroma leads with apple followed by caramel, malted barley, cinnamon, honey, oak, and pear.  Additional time in the glass brings out notes of butterscotch and roasted almonds.  The sweet apple, honey, and vanilla entry is a bit floral.  Ginger and oak follow.  It fades with apple, spice, oak, and ginger.  The finish is warm, semi-dry, and spicy with bittersweet citrus peel, malt, ginger, and oak, leaving milk chocolate taste.
