This year’s release of Writers’ Tears Cask Strength has a vibrant nose full of fresh fruits with a hint of pear drops and touches of honey, vanilla, and a soft touch of oak. The taste has a nice balance of cinnamon candies, honeycomb, dried flowers, and vanilla. The finish is nice and long with a lingering touch of cinnamon complemented by toffee sweetness. Very nice!
