Process & Profile

Powers Irish Whiskey is crafted at the distinguished Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland. It is a blend of triple-distilled pot still and grain whiskeys, epitomizing the meticulous care and precision of Irish whiskey-making. The pot still portion is made from a combination of malted and unmalted barley, dried in enclosed kilns to avoid smoky flavors. This meticulous process results in a smooth and complex profile, matured in American oak casks for added depth and character. Cut from the heart of the distillate, Powers discards more of the top and tail of the production than any other Irish whiskey, ensuring exceptional quality. The result is a rich, full-bodied spirit with bold spice and honeyed sweetness.
