Single Malt Irish Whiskeys

Writers’ Tears Irish Whiskey Debuts the ‘Red Head’ Irish Whiskey

— January 4, 2023 — Lifestyle
Walsh Whiskeys shares its new release, the ‘Writers’ Tears ‘Red Head’ Single Malt Irish Whiskey. This ultra-premium, triple-distilled whiskey is matured in Spanish sherry casks, seasoned with Oloroso sherry, and boasts a stunning red hue. On the nose, the whiskey offers aromas of orange peel, dried fruits, and sherry plums, while the taste brings flavors of nutty Oloroso, spicy raisins, and creamy oak. Ending on long, complex notes of orange, this single malt expression is distilled without chill filtering and sits at 46% ABV.

“We are delighted to finally debut Writers’ Tears ‘Red Head’ in the United States, especially for fans of our other core expressions in the Writer’ Tears range, who have long looked forward to experiencing this distinct whiskey,” said co-founder and Managing Director of Walsh Whiskey, Bernard Walsh. “We are very proud of the marriage between this Single Malt expression and the precious, hand-selected Oloroso sherry casks.”
