Writer's Tears

Has anyone tried Writer's Tears Irish Whiskey? Its pretty good. I gather its an unusual blend of mainly Single Malt whiskey and Pure Pot Still whiskey, making it spicy and then dry on the palate.

I recently tried this and as this topic has no current tasting note, here you go:



Writer's Tears, Pot Still Blend, 40% ABV
Glass: Classic Malt
Colour: Rich yellow gold (18ct)
Nose: Soft, gentle and aromatic. It's also slightly perfumed and very reminiscent of heather-coated, gently rolling Irish countryside. After a few minutes I detect some malt and the slightest hint of lavendar.
Palate: Very smooth initially, but developing a little tingle or slight pepperiness on the palate. It's very aromatic and floral malt with a faint suggestion of lemon right at the end.
Finish: Long and gentle with a hint of lemon.

Overall Impression: Very pleasant, in fact a very good whiskey. It's an Irish caress with a slight lemon twist right at the end.
