The novel is celebrated on the same historic date every year. The day is known as ‘Bloomsday’, after the main character Leopold Bloom, and Joycean enthusiasts dress in Victorian attire and visit venues that feature in the novel all across Dublin. On this occasion we are majoring on a classic pot still whiskey and pairing it with American Bourbon barrels, Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks from Spain, and Florio Marsala hogsheads from Sicily. We have cut it at a juicy 46% ABV,” says Bernard. Writers’ Tears – Single Pot Still sits at 46% ABV No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. Husband-and-wife whiskey-making team Bernard and Rosemary Walsh grew up on family farms in Ireland. They chose to remain close to their agricultural upbringings while pursuing their shared quest to produce the perfect drop, or taoscán (dram), of Irish whiskey.

Rich and heavy it has layers of sweeter fruity flavors and darker malty and candy flavors and aromas that balance each other out quite well. I can’t even imagine what the Writer’s Tears Irish Whiskey would be like at cask strength. I saw that they put one out so I guess I’m going to have to do some hunting. In so doing, he has become a leader in the renaissance period of Irish whiskey’s second coming, which began in the early 2000s. Bernard’s resurrection of old recipes saw the rediscovery of the ‘Champagne blend’ of Irish whiskey – a marriage of single pot still and single malt whiskeys popular in the 19 th century. Malt, caramel, toffee, orchard fruit, vanilla, dynamic dark sweets, creamy vanilla and some copper with a bit of lemon and hazelnuts. I’m a bit surprised by the richness. Disaronno International EVP/General Manager, Ray Stoughton, said: “We are excited and proud to be expanding Writers’ Tears presence and availability in the United States. Writers’ Tears is a world-class whiskey that has achieved a dedicated following that will only continue to gain momentum as we expand into new markets in the US. Irish whiskey will continue to be one of the hottest categories in all spirits in 2018. Writers’ Tears positioning in the super-premium segment of the category will continue to push the Irish whiskey category to even greater heights.”
