Powers Gold Label is a classic Irish whiskey, introduced in 1791 by John Power & Son. Once a single pot still whiskey, it's long since been a blend of pot still and grain whiskeys. Powers have reintroduced single pot still Irish whiskey to their range, however, with their John's Lane Release.
Super sweet shortbread notes, with honeysuckle and tangerine peel.
Buttery shortbread, cereal, pears and a little milk chocolate.
Short and mouthwatering, the spices shine through in waves with honey lingering to the end.
Ah Power's Gold, now this is something I wasn't really familiar with until I went to Ireland earlier this year and now I buy as much of it as I can find.See in Irealnd they don't drink as much Jameson or Bushmills as you would expect and that is because of this fine whiskey. Can't think if another Irish whiskey that tastes this good for under $30 it really has that great,spicy, buttery, pot still flavor you get in a Redbreast 12 or Power's three swallow but at a fraction of the price. Yeah sure there's some grain whiskey in it but the pot still character is so dominant that you hardly notice. Plus it's 43% abv and non chill filtered which gives it a nice slightly oily mouthfeel.Liquid shortbread this stuff I"m tellin ya. Slainte! The Sugarbear
Powers Gold Label is one of the best Irish entry whiskies and non premium blends, it is also better then some entry single malts. When you can find a liter bottle of this at 43.2% abv for around $20 you won't really find anything better then that. It is an Irish triple distilled whisky and beside a high pot still content it also contains some grain whisky so it is very mild and refined in flavor compared to single malts. When you can appreciate the slight grain content in this blend then it is a very inoffensive, mild, simple and easy going dram with some nice creamy, malty, fruity, pot still and bourbon oak spices flavor influences. This is a descent quality blend when bottled at 43.2% abv and non-chill filtered, I rate it 3 stars in terms of quality. But 4 stars for the good price performance ratio because this blend is underrated and punches well above its weight and gives some single malt whiskies a run for their money.
I for one am getting sick of this on-going bastardisation of weakening the core product from whatever, mainly 43% to 40%! How can you make a reasonable assessment when the product is different? By subtle adjustment, the label can have miniscule differences that appear the same. WE-ARE-NOT-STUPID!
This is a decent whiskey and great value Not for special occasions, but a good, everyday whiskey Recommended
After trying Paddy's, I had my expectations low, but the five to ten extra dollars proved well spent. Its a LOT like Jameson's, except perhaps more full bodied? A shame not more widely available, and the Powers John Lane is next on my list, definitely.
