Walsh Whiskeys recently announced the US launch of its Writers’ Tears Red Head Single Malt Irish Whiskey.
The Writers’ Tears Red Head Single Malt whiskey is matured in select handpicked Spanish sherry casks, previously seasoned with Oloroso sherry. It is the influence of these casks that give this expression of Writers’ Tears its signature rich and ruby hue, hence the moniker – “Red Head.”
“We are delighted to finally debut Writers’ Tears Red Head in the United States, especially for fans of our other core expressions in the Writer’ Tears range, who have long looked forward to experiencing this distinct whiskey,” said Bernard Walsh, Creator of Writers’ Tears as well as Walsh Whiskey Co-Founder and Managing Director. “We are very proud of the marriage between this Single Malt expression and the precious, hand selected Oloroso sherry casks.”
At 92 proof, Writers’ Tears Red Head joins the Writers’ Tears range of its Copper Pot, Double Oak, and annual Cask Strength Whiskeys, which started coming into the U.S. in 2016.
Imported by Hotaling & Co., the Writers’ Tears Red Head Single Malt Whiskey is a limited-edition expression available for $69.99.
