Powers John’s Lane 12 Year Old Single Pot Still 70cl

This new bottling of Powers John's Lane was an instant hit when it was first released in 2011.
The Powers John’s Lane Distillery was renowned for its Pot Still Irish whiskeys, bursting with flavour and character and made famous by one of Ireland’s most popular brands, Powers Gold Label. This first expression of a Powers Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is entitled John’s Lane Release and celebrates the origin of the Powers whiskey tradition by providing a glimpse of the whiskey style that made Powers famous. Using a Pot Still distillate which is true to the original style of John’s Lane, the whiskey has been matured for at least 12 years, mainly in first fill American bourbon casks with a small contribution of distillate which has been matured in Oloroso sherry butts. The result is a Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey of outstanding flavour and complexity, which perfectly tributes to the spiritual home of one of Ireland’s most loved whiskeys.
