Walsh Whiskey, has today announced the launch of the first single pot still expression, from its Writers’ Tears Irish whiskey brand.

Writers’ Tears Single Pot Still, is said to deliver notes of candied sweetness and toffee apples on the nose, while the palate features notes of pot still spice and the velvet dessert-like qualities of Pedro Ximenez.
Commenting on the launch Bernard Walsh, Founder of Walsh
Whiskey, said: “Writers’ Tears is a pot still-led range of whiskey and this
single pot still expression cements that. On this occasion we are majoring on a
classic pot still combination by pairing it with American bourbon barrels,
Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks from Spain, and Florio Marsala Hogsheads from Sicily
- a decadent combination if ever there was one!”
Bernard, went onto say: “The complexities resulting from the
marriage of spicy single pot still whiskey with bourbon, sweet PX and Marsala
casks are a feast for the senses. This special expression is in keeping with
Walsh Whiskey’s innovative approach to whiskey origination which includes
pushing the boundaries on single pot still. I am very proud of this whiskey,
our first single pot still expression, and excited to bring a new core whiskey
to the Writers’ Tears family that will become available to more and more of our
followers in over 50 countries worldwide over time.”
Initially limited to 5,800 bottles, Writers’ Tears Single
Pot Still, will be available next month from specialist retailers in Ireland, UK,
France, Germany and Holland, for a RRP of £49.00. There will be a further
release in 2022, which will roll out in the US.
