Writers' Tears Cask Strength (2021 Release), 54.2%

Price: 145 Issue: Fall 2021 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Irish Whiskey


Rich, malty, and bursting with pot still spices, time enables the appearance of deeper layers of toffee, Brazil nut, cherry, sultana cake, espresso foam, and the aromas of a dark cigar wrapper. Mouth-filling flavors of dark caramel, nuts, orange, clove, milk chocolate, and toasted almond, with firecracker pot still spices. A drying finish with malt, amaretti, and espresso. This is epic stuff. (1,500 bottles for the U.S.)
