Writers’ Tears Double Oak is a blend of two premium whiskey styles - Single Pot Still and Single Malt - aged in two types of wood – American and French Oak. It is triple-distilled, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% ABV (92 Proof). This expression is made possible by a close collaboration between the Walsh family in Ireland’s County Carlow and the Legare family in Cognac, France.
Writers’ Tears is a unique style of whiskey embedded in Irish history. At a time when Irish whiskey was distilled exclusively in copper pot stills, two styles flourished: Single Malt and Single Pot Still. The marriage of both styles became known as 'The Champagne of Irish Whiskey' and was a style beloved by many of the Irish literary greats of the time. Writers' Tears is a recreation of that fabled 19th-century whiskey and a tribute to Ireland's creative past, present and future.
