Irish WhiskeyWriters’ Tears Copper Pot
Walsh Whiskey Distillery (Bernard & Rosemary Walsh, founders)
Writers’ Tears earns its literary name. Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, Brendan Behan — Irish writers and Irish whiskey have been inseparable for centuries, and the Walshes bottled that romance into something genuinely beautiful. The blend of single pot still and single malt creates a texture that’s both silky and spiced, with the unmalted barley adding the characteristic Irish “pot still bite” that gives it backbone. At under $40, it punches well above its price point and serves as a perfect introduction to what makes Irish whiskey different from Scotch.
