Writers' Tears Copper Pot Irish Whiskey

Description

A blend of single malt and single pot still whiskeys which are triple distilled, non-peated and aged in bourbon casks come together to create this bright amber coloured dram. You'll be greeted with appealing aromas/flavours of green apple, vanilla, caramel and ginger; medium-intensity with a fruity, medium length finish. Score - 93. (Jim Murray, Whisky Bible, 2010)

Tasting Notes

Nose: a glossy Pot Still character: rather than the usual fruity firmness, the recognizable Pot Still traits are shrouded in soft honey tones which dovetail with lightening kumquat-citrus tones. Quite a curious, but always deliciously appealing animal; Taste: works beautifully well: the arrival is an alternating delivery of hard and soft waves, the former showing a more bitter, almost myopic determination to hammer home its traditional Pot Still standpoint; the sweeter, more yielding notes dissolve with little or no resistance, leaving an acacia honeyed trail; towards the middle a juicier malt element mingles with soft vanilla ... Score - 93. (Jim Murray, Whisky Bible, 2010)

Serving Suggestion

Pair it with shortbread, spanakopita, or hors d'oeuvres.
