This expression, Powers Johns Lane Release, celebrates the origin of the Powers whiskey tradition and provides a glimpse of the whiskey style that made Powers famous. Using a pot still distillate which is true to the original style of Johns Lane, the whiskey has been matured for not less than 12 years, mainly in 2nd fill American bourbon casks, with a small contribution of distillate which has been matured in Olorosso sherry butts.
The result is a Single Pot Still whiskey of outstanding flavour and complexity which provides a fitting tribute to the spiritual home of one of Irelands most loved whiskeys.
NOSE An abundance of earthy aromas, leather, tobacco with layers of charred wood, dark chocolate and treacle toffee.
TASTE Full bodied spice front followed by vanilla, honey and dried apricot.
FINISH Lingering honey sweetness on toasted oak.
