Powers John's Lane 12 Year Old is named for the historic John's Lane distillery in Dublin's Liberties — where Powers was produced for over a century before moving to Midleton. The 12 Year Old is a single pot still expression, matured in a combination of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, presenting the Powers character at genuine maturity.
Twelve years transform the Powers pot still style. The pepperiness that defines Gold Label has mellowed into a warm, composed spice, and the sherry casks have added layers of dried fruit and dark chocolate. The result is a pot still whiskey of genuine depth and sophistication.
Powers John's Lane 12 is one of the finest single pot still whiskeys available at its price. The combination of genuine maturity, sherry cask influence and the assertive Powers pot still character creates a whiskey that rivals more expensive Midleton expressions. Dublin pot still at its most accomplished.
