To help
celebrate the launch of the new core range Writers’ Tears Double Oak expression
from Walsh Whiskey, we’ve teamed up with our friends at the County Carlow – Ireland based brand,
to giveaway a bottle of their latest dramspanking Irish dramming ditty.
Inspired by
the blends popular in 18th century Ireland, Writers’ Tears Double Oak is a
blend of single pot still and single malt Irish whiskeys, that have been
matured in American and French oak casks.
The use of
French oak casks in the maturation of Irish whiskey was widespread through the
17th and 18th centuries. This changed in the 19th century, with the arrival of
more affordable and larger quantities of American oak casks, which was driven
by the surge in exports of Irish whiskey.
This gave
rise to a unique ménage of both French and American Oak barrels being used for
maturing Irish whiskies and the resultant blends gave a new twist in the
flavour profile of Irish pot and malt whiskeys.
This latest
release from the Carlow - Ireland based company, was made possible by a close
collaboration between the Walsh family and the Legaret family in Cognac,
France.
