Gold Label Irish Whiskey

Powers Description

No matter how you’re introduced to the Powers family, there’s a lot there to like. Each expression brings its own personality, while still telling some stories from John’s Lane.

POWERS GOLD LABEL is cut from the heart of the distillate. That means more top and tail gets thrown away than any other Irish whiskey. Left to mature in selected American oak casks, this is where the spicy, bold character takes hold. A complex and honeyed taste is yours for the taking.

Tasting notes

Nose

Cinnamon, clove oil and white pepper in balance with russet apples and ripe pears, on a back-ground 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.

Wine Enthusiast: 90

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.
