Introducing Writers’ Tears Limited Edition Japanese Cask Finish Irish Whiskey, a unique expression from the renowned Walsh Whiskey distillery, located in County Carlow, Ireland. This exceptional Irish whiskey is a blend of Single Pot Still and Single Malt whiskey, crafted with a delicate balance of traditional Irish whiskey-making techniques and the exotic influence of Japanese Mizunara oak casks.

The whiskey begins its journey aging in American oak ex-bourbon casks before being finished in rare Japanese Mizunara oak barrels. This final maturation adds complex layers of sandalwood, coconut, and oriental spices to the already rich and smooth character of the whiskey. Bottled at cask strength, 55% ABV, this non-chill filtered whiskey offers a pure, unadulterated experience that showcases the best of both Irish and Japanese craftsmanship.

On the nose, you’ll encounter flashes of green fruits like apple and pear, underscored by a distinctive pot still base. The palate delivers a harmonious blend of vanilla, clove, and sandalwood, finishing with a lingering note of Japanese incense that transports you to the East.

The Writers’ Tears Limited Edition Japanese Cask Finish Irish Whiskey is a masterful blend from the esteemed Walsh Whiskey distillery, an innovative force in the Irish whiskey renaissance. Situated in County Carlow, Walsh Whiskey was founded in 1999 by Bernard and Rosemary Walsh, initially focusing on blending and bottling Irish Coffee. Over the years, the company expanded its horizons, launching The Irishman in 2007 and Writers' Tears in 2009, both of which have garnered international acclaim. Their dedication to craftsmanship and quality has earned them numerous awards, including accolades at the Irish Whiskey Awards and the Spirits Business Irish Whiskey Masters.

This limited-edition whiskey is a blend of Single Pot Still and Single Malt whiskey, showcasing the best of Irish distilling traditions. It is triple-distilled, ensuring an exceptionally smooth profile, and finished in Japanese Mizunara oak casks. The Mizunara oak, sourced from the foothills of Mount Fuji, imparts unique flavours of sandalwood, coconut, and exotic spices, creating a distinctive whiskey experience.

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: A rich golden hue that reflects its time in both American and Japanese oak.
  • Aroma: The nose opens with fresh notes of green apple and pear, complemented by the characteristic pot still spice.
  • Flavour: On the palate, expect a delightful blend of vanilla, clove, and the subtle warmth of sandalwood, followed by a hint of coconut and the exotic aroma of Japanese incense.
  • Mouthfeel: Smooth and luxurious, with a warming, lingering finish that invites you to savour every sip.

The rich and complex flavours of Writers’ Tears Japanese Cask Finish make it an excellent pairing with hearty dishes like roasted duck, grilled lamb, or even a rich chocolate dessert. The whiskey’s unique profile also lends itself well to classic cocktails such as an Old Fashioned, where its spice and wood notes can shine.
