Description
Writer’s Tears Copper Pot is a symphony of smooth and complex flavors achieved through its unique aging process. The use of both single malt and pot still whiskeys creates a robust base, while the combination of used bourbon barrels and rejuvenated sherry casks adds distinct layers of character.
Aroma
Initial burst: Sweet and inviting. Honey takes center stage, often accompanied by notes of vanilla and hints of creamy butterscotch.
As it breathes: Subtle complexities emerge. Look for hints of citrus peel, like lemon or orange, mingling with the sweetness. Deeper sniffs might reveal a touch of baking spice, like cinnamon or ginger, and maybe even a whisper of oak from the aging process.
Palate
First sip: The initial sweetness from the nose translates beautifully. Honey and vanilla are prominent, often joined by a smooth maltiness.
Mid-palate: The complexity unfolds. Fruity notes like green apple or pear might appear, along with a touch of peppery spice. Some tasters even pick up hints of tropical fruits or brined citrus. The oak influence becomes more noticeable, adding a pleasant dryness that keeps the whiskey from being cloying.
Finish: Writer’s Tears Copper Pot boasts a long and warming finish. The sweetness recedes slightly, allowing the spicy notes and a hint of oak to linger on the tongue.
