Writers' Tears Copper Pot Still Irish Whiskey is crafted by blending aged Single Pot Still and Single Malt Irish whiskeys, both distilled entirely from barley (malted and unmalted) in traditional copper pot stills, then triple-distilled and matured in flame-charred American oak bourbon casks, resulting in a unique recreation of the celebrated 19th-century Irish whiskey style known as 'The Champagne of Irish Whiskey'.

Writers' Tears Copper Pot is a modern recreation of a historic Irish whiskey style known as "The Champagne of Irish Whiskey," which was popular among literary giants in the 19th century. This unique blend of Single Pot Still and Single Malt whiskeys pays homage to Ireland's rich literary tradition.

Despite its name, Writers' Tears doesn't actually contain any tears. The name is a playful nod to the old Irish saying that when a writer cries, they cry tears of whiskey. It's a tribute to the close relationship between Irish writers and their favorite spirit.

Writers' Tears is one of the few Irish whiskeys that uses 100% barley in its production, combining both malted and unmalted barley. This gives it a distinctively creamy mouthfeel and complex flavor profile that sets it apart from many other Irish whiskeys on the market.
