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.
To my palate, this is great, for the price. Seems a bit livelier and more going on than the Jamieson's offerings. Sippable but also comes through well in a mixed drink. For the price I'd probably go to this before a lot of the mainstream blends.
Love powers real great standard whiskey my favourite whiskey
Have to say I hold Powers in high regard. The ordinary stuff is top notch. Was intrigued by the Gold label version. But it is much too harsh. Burns as it goes down. The ordinary Powers, which I like, is much more smooth and enjoyable. Gold label carries fruity notes with a hint of caramel but strangely has a burning taste at the end, so the finish misses big time.
Reviewing the discontinued 43.2% version. Bought the last? four bottles in "OZ" @ $AU 72 each last week. Look, this stuff wouldn't blow any one's mind, but at its price point there is very little competition that satisfies to the same degree. I suspect the new version is fully chill-filtered meaning there will be a loss of fatty acids (oiliness). And also at 40% Alc/Vol, flavour will be diminished. Sad to see this trend becoming a lot more prevalent within the last 20 years. A word of advice : - Never change a product unless it is an improvement.
What happened? I've bought Powers for years, although I don't know that it was Gold Label. However, I was totally confident when I bought this new squat bottle of Powers Gold Label. Am no expert, but quote another who said in 2019: "Maybe I got a bad batch because it wasn't at all what others here describe. Mine was relatively tasteless and lots of alcohol burn." In other words, flavorless with almost no scent, but "hot." Wish I could get my $$ back as I'm on a budget!
