Writers' Tears Red Head Single Malt Irish Whiskey (700ml)

Description

"Maturation in Spanish Oloroso sherry butts gives this single malt Irish whiskey its signature ruby colour (and its name), along with rich dried fruit character. There is orange peel, dried fruits and sherry plums on the nose, while in the mouth there is nutty Oloroso, spicy raisins and creamy oak. The finish is long and complex with an orange note" DrinksBiz Magazine, Bourbon & Whiskey Report 2018

"The folks at Walsh Whiskey are making quite a name for themselves with their fresh approach to the Irish Whiskey Category and the Writers Tears Red Head Single Malt Whiskey continues that theme. The nutty barley flavours so typical of Irish Whiskey are melded into the dry fruit flavours of the sherry butt such that neither aspect of flavour dominates. However, it must be stated that it is also true that neither aspect of flavour is diminished. The result is, that with a spot of ice to cool her fire, the Red Head is thoroughly pleasing" Chip Dykstra, The Rum Howler Blog, Jun 2017

An exquisite Single Malt matured in Oloroso Sherry Casks. Orange peel, dried fruits & sherry plums on the nose. Nutty Oloroso, spicy raisins & creamy oak taste. Long & complex with a flourish of orange.

This exquisite, triple-distilled single malt is matured only in select handpicked Spanish sherry butts which have previously been seasoned with the finest Oloroso sherry. It is the influence of these scarce butts that give this expression of Writers’ Tears its signature rich, ruby hue and hence the moniker – ‘Red Head’. The expression is distilled without chill filtering as nature intended and at a distinctive 46% ABV.
