Writers' Tears Copper Pot

Nothing particularly jumps out about this one. Smooth but not quite as smooth or fruity as red breast. Malty for sure.

Fruit medley with a razor-sharp finish that both pleases and hurts

What's the last book you read or one that inspired you? Influenced by 19th and 20th century novelists, playwrights and poets, Writers Tears seeks to pay homage to the golden era of Irish literature and whiskey. The Copper Pot edition pairs aged single pot still and single malt Irish whiskey in charred American oak bourbon casks. I can smell light honey, bergamot orange and magnolia flowers. As it settles, there's a moist caramelized baked good scent like the decadent orange honey cake that my mom makes for holidays. It's nostalgic, comforting and mouth watering. Writer's Tears Copper Pot is a pleasant whiskey. There's a hint of heat at the tip of my tongue with familiar citrus and honey sweetness. This is paired with malted barley and a tannic taste that moves to a medium finish of mild pepper and gently bitter, charred oak. For the fairly light palate, it's still smooth with moderate richness and body.  I would love to taste additional layers of flavour for more substance with a longer finish. If this light gold drop was truly a piece of cake, I'd likely need a couple of slices to satiate my craving. This is still a wholesome and welcoming whisky: both in palate and price. 7.5/10

Nice an gentle. Not too much going on but this is easily approachable.
