There’s only so much monochrome grey a gal can take in a single season before whiskey becomes a valuable creative resource. If ever an inanimate object could sympathize with crumpled piles of tasting notes and baleful staring contests with computer screens, it’s this bottle of Irish. A blend of pure pot still and single malt whiskies, Writers Tears is light and smooth with a complex nose spanning ginger, honey, delicate citrus and fudge and a curious, tongue-tickling finish – like fairy dust or superfine Pop Rocks – to kick-start the creative juices.
