Writer’s Tears Gets A Brand Extension
Walsh Whiskey has created a new core expression for it’s Writers’ Tears range, which blends Irish single malt and single pot still whiskeys. Writer’s Tears Double Oak is a blend of the two whiskey styles aged in two types of wood, American and French Oak. It is triple-distilled, non-chill filtered and bottled at 46% ABV.
Through its partnership with the Legaret family, Walsh Whiskey recently introduced French oak to followers of the Writers’ Tears portfolio with the limited release of Writers’ Tears Cognac Cask. Encouraged by it’s success, Bernard Walsh decided to make French oak a permanent feature in the Writers’ Tears portfolio through the introduction of Writers’ Tears Double Oak.
Double Oak is the third core expression in the Writers’ Tears range which includes the Copper Pot and Cask Strength versions. It is the 14th expression in the wider Walsh Whiskey portfolio, including the extended Writers’ Tears and The Irishman ranges.
The American oak contributes bolder flavors with more sweet and vanilla overtones due to the presence of more lactones in the wood. The French oak, on the other hand, generates silky tannins which yield a light sweetness combined with fruity flavors that persist in the mouth.
As one of Walsh Whiskey’s core expressions, Writers’ Tears Double Oak is available to all markets, and will be first available in the USA, Russia, UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands & Ireland (including Dublin Airport). The RRP is €55 in Ireland and $64.99 in the USA.
