Original signature blend combining single malt and single pot still whiskey with no grain whiskey in the mix, created by Bernard Walsh
Blend of single pot still and single malt Irish whiskey, no age statement, from Walsh Whiskey
A triple-distilled single malt matured exclusively in handpicked Spanish Oloroso sherry butts, named for the rich ruby hue those casks impart; the second permanent expression in the Writers' Tears range.
