Founded in 1999 by Bernard and Rosemary Walsh, the family-run business has since achieved international acclaim with its aspirational, premium triple-distilled whiskeys. Packed with character and complexity, these small-batch tipples make for the perfect Christmas gift.
This Christmas, The Irishman brings a fresh spark to festive whiskey features – a modern classic rooted in Ireland’s golden era but made for today’s drinker.

Writers’ Tears is a whiskey with storytelling in its soul – a modern creator’s companion inspired by the poets and playwrights who defined Ireland’s literary legacy. Reviving the 19th-century style once hailed as “the champagne of Irish whiskey,” Writers’ Tears Copper Pot blends Single Pot Still and Single Malt for bright apple and honey notes wrapped in spice, chocolate, and a creamy finish.
Its Double Oak expression deepens the narrative, aged in American Bourbon and French Cognac casks to unveil vanilla, cinnamon, plum, poached pear, citrus zest, and lingering spice. Whether fuelling late-night ideas by the fire or wrapped under the tree for the dreamer in your life, Writers’ Tears brings craft, character, and creative spark to any festive whiskey roundup.
