The story behind it

The maker

Founded by Bernard and Rosemary Walsh in 1999 in County Carlow, Walsh Whiskey was born from a passion for reviving historic Irish whiskey styles. Writers' Tears was created to celebrate Ireland's rich literary history, specifically the beloved writers of the 19th and 20th centuries who frequented Dublin's pubs.

How it is made

Crafted at Walsh Whiskey, this unique expression is distilled three times in traditional copper pots using a blend of 60% Single Pot Still and 40% Single Malt whiskey. It honors the 19th-century golden era of Irish whiskey distilling when writers and poets turned to the spirit for inspiration.
