    Powers John's Lane Release 12 Year Old Single Pot Still

    A single pot still release of Powers whiskey. It's matured in a combination of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, and named after the distillery where it was first made, now sadly closed.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Barley, copper, fresh oak, leather, and juicy fruit.

    Palate

    Very smooth with vanilla, dry spice, chocolate and coffee. There is dark fruit here too, raisins and blackcurrants.

    Finish

    More vanilla and drying copper notes.

    Overall

    A very well balanced whiskey with not a note out of place. Lovely.

    Reviews for Powers John's Lane Release 12 Year Old Single Pot Still

    I tried this about 5 years ago and wasn’t too impressed but I was new to whiskey then. Since I have went from liking very mellow Irish and Japanese whiskeys to discovering the likes of Red Breast my favourite before this. The only other whiskey I would say I prefer over this is Midleton Barry Croket but that’s 3 times the price. I am no whiskey connoisseur but to me it’s fruity vanilla to the nose then warming to taste with a lingering spice. Definitely one of my favourites but much more body and spice to so it if you are new to whiskey as I was it might not be a instant match

    Impressive....!!

    My first tasting of this particular Powers and it has really impressed me. Not at all what I expected. Smooth and creamy and very easy to drink. I would recommend that any Irish whiskey can give this one a go.

    Lovely

    My son bought this for me from Dublin. I have got to say I absolutely love it , smooth And warming. Superb.

    Mark Tilsley May 8, 2019

    Incredibly strong taste and very smooth as well

    I'm a big fan of redbreast cask strength which is incredible. This is either second of joint second will yellow spot. This whiskey has a really strong taste and yet it really is incredibly good. The after taste is particularly good. Definitely try it late at night. Just one last thing. Powers... I'm Irish. I was never a fan of your standard whiskey (sorry). But top marks for this. Keep pushing, dreaming and creating. Powers John Lane is one of the reasons I have become so proud of Irish whiskeys again.

    Poor

    Apologies, but I just don't understand all those high marks. I tried it in 2013 and again few days ago... Completely different whiskeys! I don't know what happened-poor batch, poor casks, overblended? It tastes thin, no complexity at all, woody, solventy, some vanilla… definitely no sherry cask influence. Gets better after few min in the glass and some water (below 40%). There are better Irish whiskies at similar price.
