Powers Irish Whiskey, founded by James Power in 1791 at the historic John's Lane Distillery in Dublin, stands as one of Ireland's most iconic whiskey brands. For nearly two centuries, Powers was produced at its original location until the formation of Irish Distillers in the late 1960s. Since the 1970s, production has been masterfully continued at the state-of-the-art Midleton Distillery in County Cork, where traditional methods meet modern craftsmanship. The Powers portfolio showcases both the accessible Powers Gold Label, a classic blended Irish whiskey, and an acclaimed range of single pot still expressions. The flagship Powers John's Lane Release, a 12-year-old single pot still whiskey matured in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, exemplifies the brand's commitment to reviving Dublin's historic whiskey style—rich, spicy, and full-bodied, with distinctive pot still character that has made Powers a favorite among whiskey connoisseurs worldwide.
