Product Information

No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. Powers John's Lane Release, 46%, single pot still, 12-year-old, matured mainly in ex-bourbon casks, with some input of whiskey matured in Sherry casks [13] The majority of Powers John's Lane 12 Year is aged in used bourbon casks, with a small contribution of distillate aged in used Oloroso sherry casks. It is somewhat similar to Redbreast 12 Year Irish Whiskey but it uses much less of the Sherry Cask component, is a higher proof and is non-chill filtered. To me this gives Powers John's Lane a richer taste and a more satisfying pour.

Nose: Rich! Dense honey, dried apricots, nutmeg, brown sugar. Decadent and full. Only a very light touch of the single pot still signature oiliness, which usually smells to me like soot and engine grease (but in a good way?). A rest in the glass develops the hearty coconut note that I find in Redbreast 12. Rich pot still spice facets trailed by creamy vanilla, manuka honey and dried apricot. Additional nutty notes of freshly grated nutmeg work in harmony with the sweet wood-derived elements and bold spice intensity. In 1791 James Power, an innkeeper from Dublin, established a small distillery at his public house at 109 Thomas St., Dublin. [3] [1] The distillery, which had an output of about 6,000 gallons in its first year of operation, [4] initially traded as James Power and Son, but by 1822 had become John Power & Son, [1] and had moved to a new premises at John's Lane, a side street off Thomas Street. [3] At the time the distillery had three pot stills, though only one, a 500-gallon still is thought to have been in use.

[1] History [ edit ] John's Lane Distillery, circa 1887. In many ways, Powers is to Irish newly-legal alcohol drinkers what the Scotch category is to English newly-legal alcohol drinkers; something considered for old people to drink, a hard-nosed drinker’s whiskey, but they try, might be a bit afraid of it at first, probably because of the spice (or heat as they might articulate it) and maybe it takes years to try again but when they are ready, and crucially their palates are ready, they can appreciate and enjoy the brilliance behind this traditional Irish whiskey. Following reform of the distilling laws in 1823, the distillery expanded rapidly. In 1827, production was reported at 160,270 gallons, [5] and by 1833 had grown to 300,000 gallons per annum. [3] The pantheon of Irish Single Pot Still Whiskies is small, but I personally consider the style to be one of my favorites. Something about the distillation of malted barley (as in single malt) with unmalted barley in the same pot still plumbs the depths of that grain’s capacity for complexity while offering more body and an almost inherent polish that’s hard to find equaled even in the world of single malt scotch. I’ve reviewed a book on the subject, and my original review of Redbreast 12 contains my thoughts on the style as a whole. There’s something about really good Irish whiskey, like this Powers 12 John’s Lane Release, that just makes me happy. Though to be honest I didn’t start out loving this one. This is one of those whiskeys that it took a couple of drams to grow on me. At first I didn’t see the big fuss, but the more I sipped it the less I liked it and the more I LOVED it. The more amazing it became as the flavors unraveled and it transformed from a water-cooler anecdote to a winding Irish tale with all of the twists and turns slowly being revealed.

Irish whiskey producers generally use a mix of malted and unmalted barley for their mash bill – unlike the Scots, who use all malted barley – and these unmalted grains may enhance earthy, oily notes in the spirit. They generally dry the grains with ovens, instead of the Scots’ traditional peat fires, so with some exceptions Irish whiskeys don’t have the smoky aromas that characterize many scotch whiskies. Finally, Irish whiskeys are typically distilled three times, which is one more go-around than is usual for most scotch whiskies. In 1989, Irish Distillers itself became a subsidiary of Pernod-Ricard following a friendly takeover. The Irish will tell you they invented whiskey-making, and it wasn’t until the Middle Ages that Irish monks brought distilling techniques across the waters to Scotland. Yet that short distance has been far enough that the two whiskeys evolved, over the centuries, into very different styles.
