Powers Gold Label is a complex spice and honeyed taste experience. Every drop is triple- distilled, with more cut from the top and tail of the second and third pot still charges. This means only the purest heart of the distillate is captured. This is then left to mature in select American oak casks, which allow our distillate-driven style to shine. Powers Gold Label is blended with the finest grain whiskey, also exclusively matured in American oak casks. Finally, a proprietary Powers production technique enables a non-chill filtration at 40% ABV – unique amongst Irish whiskey. STYLE: Blend of single pot still and grain Irish whiskey ABV: 40% NOSE: Cinnamon, clove oil and white pepper in balance with russet apples and ripe pears, on a background of charred oak. TASTE: Cinnamon, green peppers and a touch of nutmeg combined with orchard fruits, vanilla and toasted oak. All laid upon a crisp barley core. FINISH: Long pot still oils and spices slowly fade to rich barley and toasted wood.
