Powers John's Lane Release 12 Years Old Single Pot Still Whiskey, 70 cl with Gift Box

Product Information

In 1989, Irish Distillers itself became a subsidiary of Pernod-Ricard following a friendly takeover.

It would also be a gift for Irish Distillers to bottle some Powers with older age statements to showcase what it is capable of.As the distillery grew, so too did the stature of the family. In 1841, John Power, grandson of the founder was awarded a baronetcy, a hereditary title. [6] In 1855, his son Sir James Power, laid the foundation stone for the O'Connell Monument, [3] and in 1859 became High Sheriff of Dublin. [7] These differences are not carved in stone; the Irish Whiskey Act of 1980 outlines only the broad parameters necessary to label a product “Irish” whiskey. Basically, it requires that whiskey be composed of grains (such as barley, wheat, corn, and rye), be distilled to no more than 94.8 percent alcohol, and be aged at least three years in wooden barrels. These guidelines leave producers a lot of leeway to define their styles. Proudly honouring the history of Powers Irish Whiskey, Irish Distillers is excited to announce a new, permanent expression to the Powers family, Powers John’s Lane Cask Strength. Launching 12 years after the introduction of Powers John’s Lane whiskey, this twelve-year-old cask strength edition will be batch-released each year. A celebration of the 18th and 19th century heritage of John’s Lane Distillery when Powers whiskey was sold straight from the barrel at cask strength, the higher abv, 57.8% in the initial 2023 release, amplifies the much loved full bodied character of the original, reaching new flavour heights.

On the nose: the freshness of fruits and spice are instantly recognisable; the fragrance and aroma are enormously appealing. it’s a pleasant whiskey to nose over and over again. The second difference comes with the aging. Each of the different expressions uses a different regimen of ages and barrels. The popularity of Powers could be somewhat put down to its traditional pot still whiskeys; unlike other Pot Still Irish whiskey, Powers discards more top and tail of the second and third charges in the distilling process. What is known, though, is that the mash bill remains a secret, granting this a distinctive air and unique selling point. However, does the middle ground “Three Swallows” release befit the title more, due to its “21st century embodiment of the traditional pure Pot Still whiskey style,” or does the John’s Lane take the title? Powers John's Lane Irish Whiskey tries to make us have a glimpse of its gorgeous history at John's Lane Distillery and the single pot still whiskey they used to make there. The distillery was closed in 1976 but now, the whiskey is recreated at the new Midleton Distillery for us to savor. Powers John's Lane has always been one of the gorgeous bottles for Powers fans. About The WhiskeyDodd, Charles (1846). The Peerage, Baronetage, and Knightage, of Great Britain and Ireland, including all the Titled Classes. London: Whittaker & Co. The last member of the family to sit on the board was Sir Thomas Talbot Power, [8] who died in 1930, [10] and with him the Power's Baronetcy. However, ownership remained in the family until 1966, and several descendants of his sisters remained at work with the company until recent times. [11] Nose: Rich! Dense honey, dried apricots, nutmeg, brown sugar. Decadent and full. Only a very light touch of the single pot still signature oiliness, which usually smells to me like soot and engine grease (but in a good way?). A rest in the glass develops the hearty coconut note that I find in Redbreast 12.

for this quality? No brainer! Powers John's Lane offers a robust experience with the complexity we would be looking for as a step up to Three Swallow Whiskey! John's Lane Release is a celebration of the original style of Powers Whiskey and the quintessential Irish Single Pot Still distillate. Matured for 12 years, the result is an outstanding lingering robust taste that provides a perfect tribute to the spiritual home of one of Ireland’s most loved whiskeys.

Malt and silken caramel effortlessly glide out of the glass accompanied by honey, candied fruit, sweet pipe tobacco, fruit cake and something that resembles a sherry sweetness without being a sherry aroma. It’s light and easy while maintaining a very rich character. Sweet whiskey spice and vanilla move easily across the palate with malt, honey, leather and candied dark fruit coming through. That sweet malty pure pot still character is just astounding here.

Since the closure of the John's Lane distillery, many of the distillery buildings were demolished. However, some of the buildings have been incorporated into the National College of Art and Design, and are now protected structures.

As a brand and a set of products, Powers Irish whiskey range is well loved by older generations in the domestic market, and as such has seen its relevance and former market prowess shrivel over the years since Jameson overtook Powers’ sales volume in and around the year 2000, where prior to that it had been number one in the domestic market. With a whiskey industry that prospered for hundreds of years, Ireland helped establish a taste for whiskey throughout the western world. Legendary producer Bushmills was issued what is now the oldest license to distill spirits in 1608, and within decades Ireland boasted more than 100 distilleries. The Irish will tell you they invented whiskey-making, and it wasn’t until the Middle Ages that Irish monks brought distilling techniques across the waters to Scotland. Yet that short distance has been far enough that the two whiskeys evolved, over the centuries, into very different styles. In many ways, Powers is to Irish newly-legal alcohol drinkers what the Scotch category is to English newly-legal alcohol drinkers; something considered for old people to drink, a hard-nosed drinker’s whiskey, but they try, might be a bit afraid of it at first, probably because of the spice (or heat as they might articulate it) and maybe it takes years to try again but when they are ready, and crucially their palates are ready, they can appreciate and enjoy the brilliance behind this traditional Irish whiskey.
