Powers Description
There’s a reason why no other whiskey tastes like Powers - no other whiskey is made like Powers. The distinctively rich, round, complex, full flavors come from the unique way in which all our whiskeys are crafted. Not only do we triple distill our whiskey, we cut more from the top and tail of the second and third charges taking only the heart of the distillate. We then maintain this unique flavor profile through careful maturation and proprietary non-chill filtration. This results in a powerful, spicy flavor that is ours and ours alone.
Powers Gold Label is a complex spice and honeyed taste experience. Every drop is triple distilled, with more cut from the top and tail of the second and third Pot Still charges. This means only the purest heart of the distillate is captured. This is then left to mature in select American oak casks which allow our distillate driven style to shine. Powers Gold Label is blended with the finest grain whiskey, also exclusively matured in American oak casks. Finally, a proprietary Powers production technique enables a non-chill filtration at 43.2% ABV – unique amongst Irish whiskey.
Nose: Cinnamon, clove oil and white pepper in balance with russet apples and ripe pears, on a background of charred oak.
Taste: Cinnamon, green peppers and a touch of nutmeg combined with orchard fruits, vanilla and toasted oak. All laid upon a crisp barley core.
Finish: Long Pot Still oils and spices slowly fade to rich barley and toasted wood.
Ultimate Spirits Challenge: 93 Points
The aromas of green mango, roasted fennel, and honeyed walnuts draw you in. White cherries, toasted corn and a hint of brown sugar envelop the tongue and linger for a while in the finish.
Wine Enthusiast
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.
