No tears here!

Yes, I recommend this

Being a whiskey drinker, this has to be one of the best. I do have a favourite Scotch but this matches it. It is good to see that M & S do a good range of whiskies etc including my favourite Scotch and at reasonable prices. CHEERS!

A class of its own

Yes, I recommend this

Bought another bottle of this as a gift for my son in law, having consulted my father, who I bought it for previously. Asked dad's opinion and he would recommend this instead of any of the myriad of single malts and scotch whiskies I have bought for him over the years.

You've a fine, steady hand, dat's grand!

Yes, I recommend this

I was an afficionado of Glenlivet until a friend graciously bought me Writer's Tears a few years ago. I prefer delicate rather than peaty and for me, this is the lightest and smoothest I've ever savoured. I have Scots and Irish ancestry so I can still enjoy whisky and whiskey ;) M&S in Welwyn usually stock Writer's Tears although on this occasion had to resort to an online purchase - delighted to benefit from the reduced price and free delivery on a nominated day, having bought a bottle as a Christmas gift and of course, one for ourselves. Delivery updates by email and text, simple yet sturdy packaging, will definitely re-order, just hope M&S continue to have supply of this superb pot still whiskey!

Writer's Tears Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Yes, I recommend this

Taste it and if you are a true lover of whisky or whiskey (I am a lover of both, providing it is good whisky/whiskey) I would expect you to be suitably impressed. Pity it wasn't available on the shelves of our local M&S (although, buying it on-line saved me £3 per bottle.) Have a dabble do.. :)

Writers Tears is an inspired Irish Whiskey

Yes, I recommend this

Smooth pot stilled and worth the premium for once I am satisfied with my purchase. If it appears on offer its a bonus but even the additional cost (premium) is acceptable for the quality. Good health to all who try it, I don't believe you'll regret it.

Fantastic Irish whiskey

Yes, I recommend this

Was recommended this new whiskey in a pub in Co. Kilkenny and made sure I bought this on my return. Hints of vanilla and honey make this easy and pleasant on the palate. Best quality for this price under £30!

Slipped down a treat!!

Yes, I recommend this

This is just my style of whiskey, and every bit as good as the descriptive notes. The 'hints' of apple, honey and vanilla are certainly present, but not too sweet or overpowering. Just helped to make each mouthful of this special Irish pot still whiskey taste very smooth and special. I hope M&S continue to stock it, as I will have to return for a second bottle very soon...

Gift for 91 year old father!

Yes, I recommend this

This was sent as a gift to my father for his 91st birthday and went down very well, literally. He informs me that it was "very pleasant" and half the bottle disappeared within a few days ..... Definitely a good buy!
