Powers 12 Year Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey 750mL

Powers 12 Year Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, known as John’s Lane Release, is a testament to the storied history and continued legacy of Powers Whiskey. Named after the location of the original Powers Distillery in Dublin, this expression harks back to the style and substance that made Powers a household name in Ireland and beyond.

A Tribute to Tradition John’s Lane Release is matured for 12 years, primarily in American oak casks, with a portion also finished in Oloroso sherry casks. This lengthy maturation combines the robust character of the single pot still distillation with the nuanced complexity derived from the dual cask influence, capturing the essence of the old Powers distillery’s prowess.
