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.
