Writers' Tears Copper Pot

Sweet with baking spices on the nose. Reminds me of sugar cookies or cake. Light fruit and delicate body on the palate. Hint of smoke. A warm, pleasant finish. A solid whiskey.

Not offensive in any way. This would be great for guests. Nothing special but nothing offensive.

The first smell is like a crisp apple cider, all bright and fresh, and tart like green apples. There’s vanilla, and the faintest hint of seasoned wood. The taste pairs well with the nose, fresh apples are strongly present, and maybe pears coming along too. There’s a bit of cut grass, the sour and bitter like mown alfalfa, then eucalyptus, and ginger. The finish lingers longer than expected, and it is hotter than expected for 40% ABV. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this whiskey, having seen mixed reactions, but for $39.95, I’m glad I picked this up.

Sweetest whiskey I’ve ever tried, no bite at all, just plain smooth. Heavy on the apples. You could go through a bottle of this dangerously fast
