The Story

About Powers Gold Label Irish Whiskey

In 1791, John Powers founded the John’s Lane Distillery, which at the time was located on the outskirts of a growing Dublin City. The distillery used for its motive-power the first steam engine erected in Ireland — the engine was constructed for the sole purpose of producing pot still whiskey.

John Power & Son was the first Irish distiller to bottle its own whiskey in 1886, adopting a gold label exclusively for POWERS bottled at John's Lane. The gold label guaranteed the higher quality and distinguished it from the white label Powers which was bottled by independent whiskey bonders. Hence it became customary, when in a public house, to call for a 'gold label'.

Power's unique distillation process uses only the heart of the distillate, delivering a richly complex, and layered flavor profile that has been a standard of Irish Whiskey since 1791. Being a pioneering force in quality Irish Whiskey, POWERS has been continuously distilling The Gold Label for nearly 230 years. The whiskey is made exclusively from malted and unmalted barley, which is triple distilled in copper pot stills. Following distillation, the non-chill filtered whiskey is aged in American oak casks for five to seven years before being bottled at 86.4 proof.

Powers Gold Label, with its signature rich, honeyed flavor and bold, complex spiciness, is perfect to be drunk neat or in cocktails such as: Irish Coffee, Whiskey Sour, and Highball Fizz.

About Irish Whiskey

Contrary to popular belief that Scots invented whisk(e)y, Irish whiskey was mentioned almost a century before its Scottish brother.

Its origin comes from the perfume distilling monks who decided to tweak the recipe a bit, creating Irish whiskey.

Irish whiskey doesn’t have a lot of rules and regulations to be considered “pure” and can be made with various grains and processes, as long as it is aged for at least three years in wooden casks and has a max ABV of 94.8%.

Tasting Notes

Spicy aromas of cinnamon, white pepper, honey and clove, as well as hints of orange zest and butterscotch. The palate continues with notes of nutmeg, toasted oak, brown sugar, orchard fruits and vanilla, and leads to a finish accented by rich crispy barley and toasted wood.
