Writers’ Tears Japanese Cask Finish Irish Whiskey

Writers’ Tears Japanese Cask Finish Irish Whiskey is a unique and limited edition offering from Walsh Whiskey, combining the traditional Irish whiskey making with an intriguing Japanese twist. This cask strength whiskey, with an ABV of 55%, is a blend of Single Pot Still and Single Malt Irish whiskey, finished in Japanese Mizunara oak casks.

The use of Mizunara oak for finishing imparts distinctive flavors to the whiskey. You can expect an aroma that includes notes of apple and pear, complemented by a distinct pot still base. The flavor profile is enriched with vanilla and clove, along with hints of sandalwood and Japanese incense, making it a truly unique and complex spirit.

They started with a focus on recreating traditional Irish whiskey recipes from the 19th century, a golden era of whiskey distilling in Ireland, and have since grown to include a range of internationally acclaimed whiskey brands.
