In closing

Writers’ Tears Copper Pot Irish Whiskey isn’t the most complex bottle of whiskey out there, but for around $40, it’s an incredible value. I was pleasantly impressed with the flavor profile, which coats the mouth wonderfully with citrus dessert-like qualities. When compared to other Irish Whiskies in the same price range, Writers’ Tears Copper Pot Irish Whiskey is far superior. This is a bottle that I feel most would enjoy I’ll certainly be recommending to people looking to dip their toes in the world of Irish Whiskey.
