Weep for joy with some proper cask-strength, full-flavor Irish blended Whiskey.

Walsh Whiskey set out with the clear mission of rediscovering real Irish-style Whiskey as it was made 200 years ago. When Walsh Whiskey first started in 1999, they contracted their distilling to Bushmills. But their success has allowed them to build their own distillery in Carlow — in the heart of Ireland’s southern farm country — where they make eight versions of The Irishman Whiskies, six Writers' Tears blends, and two varieties of Irish Cream Liqueur.

Harkening back to the golden age of Irish Whiskey, the Writers' Tears series employs pot-still distillation and Irish creativity of centuries past. The times when literary giants such as Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, and Bram Stoker would enjoy a dram and brood over their work. The annual Cask Strength expression is a blend of the finest Single Pot Still and Single Malt Irish Whiskeys, singled out each year by Bernard Walsh for their exceptional qualities. Matured in American oak, there was a total of 3,000 of these 109-proof bottles produced in 2020 with a fresh label design.

Irishman signature blend was created by Bernard Walsh, in 1999.
Irish Whiskey has many varieties: grain Whiskey, malted barley pot-still-distilled, and ‘pure pot-still’ (or ‘single pot still’ as it is now officially known). Then there is Poitin, one of the first Spirits ever made.
It is said that when Irish writers suffered from ‘Writer's Block’ and that when they cried they cried tears of Whiskey. Most, if not all of them, sought comfort and inspiration from “The Water of Life” (Whiskey). The relaxing characteristics of Whiskey helped many of them overcome writer’s block and produce inspired works of poetry, prose and plays. Writer’s Tears, is a salute to these great Irish writers.
Irish Coffee recipe: 1 cup freshly brewed strong coffee, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 3-4 tablespoons Irish Whiskey, heavy cream - slightly whipped.
The Harp is the official emblem of Ireland, not the shamrock. The reason for shamrock’s fame is Saint Patrick.
Poteen is a Whiskey made from potatoes, or in other words: it's Irish Vodka.
