Powers Irish Whiskey
Dublin pot still since 1791, bottled at 43.2% and never chill filtered.
The story behind Powers
James Power opened his Dublin distillery in 1791, and in 1886 the house became the first in the city to bottle its own whiskey instead of selling it off in casks. That decision kept the spirit under one roof from still to seal, and it is why the name carries weight on this shelf. Production moved to Midleton in County Cork under Irish Distillers, but the house style never drifted: a tight heart cut in the still, triple distillation, and a bottling strength of 43.2% ABV where most entry Irish whiskey stops at 40%.
We have poured Powers for a long time, and the reason is simple. The pot still weight shows through, the spice holds up in a glass, and the price stays honest.
