It is the influence of these exceptional butts that give this expression of Writers’ Tears its signature rich, ruby hue and hence the moniker – ‘Red Head’. The expression is distilled without chill filtering as nature intended and at a distinctive 46% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose: \u003cspan\u003eOrange peel, dried fruits \u0026amp; sherry plums.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePalate: Nutty Oloroso, spicy raisins \u0026amp; creamy oak.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinish: Long \u0026amp; complex with a flourish of orange.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\/Reviews:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91 Points - Whisky Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"No mistaking the sherry character on the nose of this single malt, with its damson, plum, raisin, walnut, pepper, and ground ginger. The flavors mingle red apple, citrus peel, marmalade, mixed peels, and chocolate-covered raisins, though it’s actively spicy, finally unwinding with flavors of dried vine fruit, black cherry, and a hint of licorice. The long finish pairs the spice with the return of the marmalade notes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade: A- (Drinkhacker)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The color’s inviting on its own, but the rest of the experience reveals plenty more sherry-fueled fun. A bit leathery and wood-heavy on the nose, the whiskey takes its time to let fruit notes perk up, but eventually they do, with expressed orange peel offering a spritz of citrus oil aromatics across the top of your glass. A bit more time in glass reveals some curious notes of mint and rosemary, neither of which I normally expect to find in an Irish whiskey. The palate flips the script and lets the citrusy orange emerge more clearly, alongside notes of plump raisins, vanilla, cream soda, and ginger. Increasingly aromatic and floral as it develops, the finish finds some sharpness, driven perhaps by the relatively upsized abv. Said finish is long and lingering, a bit hot, but never short of engaging.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOUTHERN \/ AMERICAN \/ PACIFIC WINE \u0026 SPIRITS","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":52807526777197,"sku":null,"price":74.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0481\/8940\/7391\/files\/WritersTearsRedHead.png?v=1764906699","url":"https:\/\/artisan.wine\/products\/writers-tears-red-head-irish-whiskey-750ml-wa-91","provider":"Artisan W\u0026S","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
