Writers’TearsDoubleOak(700mL)

<p>A delicate combination of perfectly crafted Irish Whiskeys and expert, double-wood aging. </p><p><em>Walsh Whiskey </em>set out to rediscover real Irish-style Whiskey as it was made <em>200 years ago</em>. When Welsh Whiskey first started in <em>1999</em>, they contracted their distilling to Bushmills. But their success has allowed them to build out their <em>own distillery</em> in Carlow — in the heart of Ireland’s southern farm country — where they make eight versions of The Irishman Whiskies, six Writer’s Tears blends, and two varieties of Irish Cream Liqueur.</p><p>For <em>Writers’ Tears Double Oak</em>, the Walsh Whiskey Distillery took two Irish Whiskies — one Single Malt and the other Single Pot-Still. Both are <em>100% barley</em>, triple distilled, and non-chill-filtered. They aged one in American ex-Bourbon casks and the other aged in French ex-Cognac casks using Limousin oak and blended them together. The French casks came from the <em>Legaret Family estate</em> — makers of DEAU Cognac — and bring tannins and fruit notes. The American casks deliver vanilla and oakier flavors. The resulting elixir is bottled at a perfect 46% ABV.</p><p><em>*</em><em>Writers’ Tears</em><em> has recently changed their labels, and as the original labels are being phased out, there is still a chance that you might receive a bottle different than what is pictured. But rest assured, the liquid remains the same, regardless of the label.</em></p>
