Discover the Unique World of Writers\u2019 Tears Copper Pot \u2013 Icewine Cask Finish<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Introducing a restricted-edition release that\u2019s bound to captivate whiskey enthusiasts: Writers\u2019 Tears Copper Pot \u2013 Icewine Cask Finish<\/strong>. This exceptional spirit is an intriguing blend of Single Pot Still and Single Malt whiskeys, triple-distilled and carefully crafted to deliver a truly unique tasting experience.<\/p>\n

Distinctive Icewine Cask Finish<\/h2>\n

The creation journey of this whiskey is as exceptional as its flavor profile. A select batch of 3,500 bottles was finished for an additional 12 months in icewine hogsheads before being bottled at a robust 46% ABV. The dozen hogsheads were previously used for Inniskillin Icewine<\/strong>, known for its intense sweetness and rich flavor.<\/p>\n

In March 2020, these hogsheads were emptied of their icewine content and shipped to Ireland. By May of the same year, they were filled with Writers\u2019 Tears \u2013 Copper Pot<\/strong> at prime strength. This whiskey, the first Irish whiskey ever finished in icewine casks, was then closely monitored at monthly intervals and finally bottled in May 2021.<\/p>\n

The Art of Icewine Cask Selection<\/h2>\n

The meticulous selection process included guidance from Inniskillin\u2019s renowned former Head Winemaker, Bruce Nicholson. Known for his expertise, Bruce explained the careful harvesting of thick-skinned Vidal grapes when temperatures are ideally between -8 and -14 degrees Celsius, with his sweet spot at -10 to -11 degrees. This attention to detail ensures that the characteristic sweetness of Inniskillin Icewine permeates the wood and enhances the whiskey\u2019s profile.<\/p>\n
