Writers' Tears Copper Pot

Move over, Powers - The Rev's got a new go-to Irish tipple. Now that it's available here in the US, I figured I had to try it out since it's St. Paddy's weekend in Chicago. You can do worse for ways to ring it in. The nose is exuberantly fruity - ripe apples and pears, some lemon peel, honey, and vanilla. The palate is lush, rich, and smooth, with the classic Irish hallmarks coming through loud and clear. Fruity, spicy, with a bit of grain and vanilla...and a happy St. Paddy's it is indeed.

Basic, would drink if it was on-hand, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to find.
