The Powers 12yo John's Lane Release is an exemplary single pot still whiskey that captures the essence of traditional Irish distilling. Bottled at an assertive 46% ABV and presented in a 700ml bottle, this whiskey stands out for its deep heritage and meticulous craftsmanship. Matured for 12 years, it undergoes a nuanced aging process in a combination of American bourbon barrels and Iberian oloroso sherry casks. This dual maturation not only endows the spirit with a robust, complex profile but also adheres to the historical distillation practices once prevalent in Dublin. First released in 2011 by the esteemed Midleton Distillery, the Powers John's Lane Release quickly garnered accolades, including the prestigious 'Irish Whiskey of the Year' title in the 2012 edition of Jim Murray's Whisky Bible. Named after the original distillery's location in Dublin, this whiskey aims to recreate the rich, full-bodied character of the old-school John's Lane distillates. Despite the closure of the original distillery, the production continues at Midleton, renowned for its high-quality, traditional Irish whiskeys. The presentation of this bottle is as meticulous as the whiskey itself, featuring a well-crafted insert and a box in excellent condition, albeit with minor creasing. This bottle is not just a drink but a homage to the legacy of Irish whiskey-making.
This whiskey is distinctive due to its blend of aging in both American bourbon and Iberian oloroso sherry casks, which creates a complex and robust flavor profile.
Although originally produced at the now-closed John's Lane distillery in Dublin, it is currently crafted at the Midleton Distillery in Ireland.
The whiskey has been highly praised, winning 'Irish Whiskey of the Year' in the 2012 edition of Jim Murray's Whisky Bible and receiving acclaim for its traditional pot still character.
The Powers 12yo John's Lane Release is a standout in the realm of Irish single pot still whiskeys. Its intricate aging process and high-quality production make it an exceptional choice for those seeking a rich, complex spirit. The blend of fruity, spicy, and sweet notes, along with its robust body and long finish, renders this whiskey a delightful and moreish option. While it may not reach the depth of some contemporaries, it holds its own as a classic expression of traditional Irish whiskey-making.
