Writers Tears Japanese Cask Finish Cask Strength Irish Whiskey (700ml)

Originally a travel retail exclusive celebrating the Rugby World Cup in Japan, this cask strength combination of Irish Single Malt and Irish Single Pot Stilled Whiskies is arguably a new sub-classification for Irish blends. (While single malts are a distillation of 100% malted barley from a single distillery, “single pot still” also comes from a single distillery, but the mash consists of a combination of malted and un-malted barley). Aged in ex-Bourbon casks, the nine month finishing in rare Mizunara oak casks from Japan promises additional notes of sandalwood, coconut, spice and Japanese incense. 55% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
