Sweet Cask Strength Whiskeys

Walsh Whiskey Unveils the 13th Writers’ Tears Cask Strength Whiskey

Walsh Whiskey’s 13th-edition Writers’ Tears Cask Strength Whiskey is an ultra-premium whisky boasting a rare combination of triple-distilled, aged Single Pot Still and Single Malt Whiskey, with a natural non-chill filtering process and maturation in American Oak Bourbon barrels. It is cask strength and available only at specialty liquor stores. Each bottle of Writers' Tears has a unique number and the creator, Bernard Walsh’s signature.

The whiskey has a sweet scent of creme caramel and wild honey, while hints of salted caramel-dipped almonds, florals, and hazelnuts are present in the flavor profile. It finishes with heavy notes of toasted oak and ginger spice.

“What’s rare is wonderful and triple-distilled cask strength whiskey is just that. Rarer still, unique in fact, is a premium blend of aged Single Pot Still, beautifully balanced by aged Single Malt. We take great pride in commending this full-bodied, flavorsome release to whiskey drinkers the world over,” said Walsh.
