Writers' Tears Copper Pot

Tasted blind with four other Irish bottles. This finished just out of the top spot behind Jameson Black Barrel. I really like this. It really deserves a cork. Sad to see such good juice under a screw top. N - Fruits...pear apricot and citrus. Licorice candy with peach brandy. P - Fruit. Spice with top mouth heat. Vanilla, citrus and fresh baked pie crust. F - Long warm fruity finish with a bit more spice tailing off. Typically, I find most Irish whiskey boring and uninspiring. Very few bottles are really bad or off putting, just drinkable and weak. A few of these pours, including the Writer's Tears Copper Pot, were pleasant surprises. A fancier bottle and a synthetic cork, and I would easily keep a bottle on hand.

Real hot Irish whiskey. Burn is strong for the low proof. Very simple dram.

Nice flavored whiskey that could be used to transition someone to the speyside scotch flavor profile like Balvenie

The nose is oak and vanilla. I would call this a half body whiskey, but that's precisely why I bought it. I'm not incredibly good at discerning taste in Irish as I am in bourbon (strict rules make some flavor profiles easy to notice). It's very sweet immediately, like candy, and it's gone quicky after a swallow. No lasting burn, and the ethanol doesn't linger, finishes with some slight almond notes. This will probably be my go to for daily relaxing, and I'd happily recommend it to a friend.

Nose - Green apple, honey, orange. Taste - Butter, cereal, milk chocolate, and sugar cookies. Finish - Medium finish. Some spice. This is a blend of pot still and single malt Irish whiskey. The nose is a bit underwhelming, but the taste brings out delicious milk chocolate and sugary flavors, with a hint of coffee in the finish.
