Expert Review

8.5/10

Named after the original Powers Distillery on John's Lane, Dublin. Single pot still (malted + unmalted barley), triple-distilled. Bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. Jim Murray's Irish Whiskey of the Year 2012; 96 points in Whisky Bible 2022. Widely considered the benchmark premium single pot still Irish whiskey. Exceptional quality for the price.
