Reminiscent of an oaked Chardonnay with a bit more muscle to it, this vibrant yellow-gold whiskey has a sweet vanilla flavor at first, with hints of tropical fruit and bracing smoke and oak. Give it some time in the glass to open up and let an initial resin-like scent dissipate. Smooth feel.
On opening his Johns Lane Distillery in 1791, James Power, the founding father found his calling. Over 200 years later his legacy lives on, in a triple distilled Single Pot Still Irish whiskey, using the heart of the distillate. His visionary decision to devote his future to distilling and the pioneering spirit of the generations that followed him were to rock the whiskey world.
This single pot still style of whiskey is unique to Ireland and is made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled in traditional copper pot stills. However, unlike other Pot Still Irish whiskey Powers goes further. Discarding more top and tail of the second and third charges they honor a bold tradition of excellence that saw James Powers whiskey become the most popular selling brand in Ireland.
