Writer's Tears Cask Strength 2014 Edition. Image courtesy Walsh Distillery Company. The annual cask-strength release of this Irish blend has a smooth, creamy nose with notes of vanilla, honey, lemon zest, and dried grass. The taste is tart and spicy with lemon pepper that fades to reveal honey, caramel ice cream topping, vanilla, and a subtle oakiness. The finish is slightly dry and tart with lingering lemon zest and caramel notes in good balance. Very nice. (December, 2014)
