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 the distillate driven style to shine. Powers Gold Label is blended with the finest grain whiskey, also exclusively matured in American oak casks. Finally, a Powers production technique enables a non-chill filtration at 43.2% abv quite 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, toasted wood and a wonderfully complex honey flavour.
Powers is a rich, round, complex and full-flavoured drinking experience, rated as “One of the best in all Ireland. Classic stuff”, in Jim Murray’s Whiskey Bible 2007.
“The combination of heavy oils and honey fragrance in the nose, and the smooth yet lingering taste of the finish”
Silver, Irish Whiskey – Deluxe Blend, International Wine & Spirit Competition 2014.
