Writers' Tears Single Pot Still Chapter 10
Writers' Tears Single Pot Still Chapter 10, NAS, 46 %
The Writers' Tears core range from Walsh Whiskey is made up of eight different expressions.
Triple distilled single pot still Irish whiskey. Matured in ex-PX and ex-Marsala European oak casks. Sourced from undisclosed distillery, but most likely Midleton.
From the product page:
“Originally matured in bourbon barrels, the triple-distilled, single pot still whiskey, was then further matured in Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks from Spain and Florio Marsala Hogsheads from Sicily, before being cut at a juicy 46% ABV.”
Nose: Sweet and fruity nose. Mango and apricots and strawberries. A light touch of oak with time. Then vanilla, tinned pears and more tropical fruits.
Taste: Full bodied and fresh. Very fruity - with layers of both ripe orchard fruits and assorted dried fruits. I also find tropical fruits on subsequent sips - like kiwi and mango. Very fruity indeed.
Finish: Medium long finish. Lighter and more sugary sweet now. Vanilla, custard and Marsala wine.
Comment: Fruity and then some!
