Writers' Tears Copper Pot
Blended — Ireland

As the price of Green Spot and Redbreast have risen exorbitantly (my first bottle of Redbreast 12, ten years ago, cost me $45 Cdn. There are now some local stores selling it for $90 or more), Writers Tears has become *the* bang-for-buck buy in the Irish pot still segment (it hovers around $44 Cdn. locally). Flavours of apple, citrus (especially grapefruit), cereals. Maple syrup, toffee, oak, vanilla. Lots of heather honey. Raisins, plums. Grassy meadow. Light in flavour, but what's here is surprisingly nice. A few more ABV percentage points would be nice, but I do really dig this stuff.
