THE
DRAM OF DREAMERS
A marriage of
inspiration and art
Walsh Whiskey was founded in 1999 by the husband and wife Bernard and Rosemary Walsh and is now more one of the leading companies in Irish whiskey production. The portfolio includes exclusively premium and super-premium whiskeys that are triple distilled according to Irish tradition. Under the leadership of Bernard Walsh, the company has built a portfolio of internationally award-winning whiskeys. The great goal of Walsh Whiskey is the balancing act between the past and the modern. On the one hand, the focus is on the revival of Irish whiskey, as one of the most appreciated spirits in the world, which is why the 19th century is called “Ireland’s golden era of whiskey making”, and not without reason. On the other hand, the creation of innovative new bottlings marks a new era.

The Writer’s tears
Ireland has been richly blessed with some of the world’s greatest and most important writers. Many Irish writers sought solace and inspiration in whiskey, successfully combating their writer’s block. The story goes that when an Irish writer cried, tears of pure whiskey flowed. Writers’ Tears was created in honor of these wonderful writers and poets. A whiskey to inspire the present, and to bow to those who have passed away many years ago.
