Writers' Tears, a marriage of inspiration and art, is motivated by the Irish Whiskey's golden period, pot still distillation, and its profound, enduring connection with creative thinkers and artists. Ireland's golden age for Irish whiskey and, maybe coincidentally, its greatest playwrights, poets, and novelists occurred in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At the time, Ireland was the world's top producer of whiskey and gave the world literary greats like George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, and Bram Stoker, to mention a few. Many of these famous authors would occasionally seek sanctuary in their neighborhood bar, where they might get ideas from their observations of everyday life and relax with their favorite dram of whiskey. While the authors were enjoying a drink, the Irish whiskey lords were in uproar about the introduction of what they saw to be subpar grain from Coffey Stills. The barons guarded the customs that had contributed to their prosperity, and one whiskey kind was revered above all others at the time. It was a master mix of pot still and malt whiskeys, both of which were produced in copper pots, and was referred to as the 'champagne of Irish whiskey.' Many of the great Irish authors of the day appreciated it, however less for its motivational properties than for its flavorful, rich, and creamy texture. They reportedly appreciated it so much that when they sobbed, whiskey appeared in their eyes. A century later, when the whiskey barons fought the perceived evils of technical, trade, and other warfare, little did anybody realize that the relationship between writer and whiskey would almost completely vanish. That is, until today.
