"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 43.2% ABV – unique amongst Irish whiskey." —producer |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Reminiscent of an oaked Chardonnay with a bit more muscle to it, this vibrant yellow-gold whiskey has a sweet vanilla flavor at first, with hints of tropical fruit and bracing smoke and oak. Give it some time in the glass to open up and let an initial resin-like scent dissipate. Smooth feel." —Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast Magazine "Bright gold color. Delicate, fruity, attractive aromas of pineapple upside down cake, creme brulee, toffee, and cedar with a velvety, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a peppery, distinctive, long honey toasted nuts and cereal, baking spices, dried fruits, and leather finish. A great Irish whisky with wonderful layers of spice, fruit, and grain." —Beverage Testing Institute |
