Walsh Whiskey has distilled what it claims will be the first organic pot still Irish whiskey.

The expression, which came off the still as new make spirit earlier this month, has already been accredited by The Organic Trust, Walsh Whiskey said today. It will now be aged and is expected to go on sale in 2023 under Walsh’s Writer’s Tears label.

Walsh said the organic spirit was part of the company’s desire to lead innovation in the Irish whiskey category. It also said there was long-term potential in the organic sector “based on the full flavour profiles it produces and the emerging consumer interest”. 

“We look forward to expanding our range of organic whiskeys as demand and supply increases in the coming years,” Walsh Whiskey Distillery’s distillery manager, Lisa Ryan, said.

Walsh Whiskey started production at a greenfield whiskey distillery in April 2016. The site is producing the privately-owned company’s Writer’s Tears and The Irishman brands, and has an annual capacity of about 650,000 cases. It will also produce all three types of Irish whiskey; pot, malt and grain.
