Writers Tears Double Oak Blended Irish Whiskey 700ml

This blend combines two premium whiskey styles, Irish single malt and single pot still, matured in two types of oak, American and French. It is the result of a collaboration between the families associated with Walsh Whiskey in County Carlow and the Legaret family in Cognac.

Although American oak is now widely used in whisky maturation, French oak was once common during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This changed in the nineteenth century when the phylloxera blight of the 1860s affected French vineyards, reducing the availability of mature French oak wine casks.
