Powers12YearOldJohn’sLaneRelease(700mL)

<p>An incredibly special release that’s won practically every Whiskey award going.</p><p><em>James Power</em> was an innkeeper in Dublin. In <em>1791 </em>he decided to take some of his profits and start his <em>own distillery. </em>Thus, <em>John’s Lane Distillery</em> at Thomas Street was born. The company grew and was very successful, so as soon as he was of age, his son John joined the family business, thus<em> John Power and Son </em>became the official name.</p><p>They innovated and expanded greatly on their way to becoming the <em>most popular Whiskey in the world.</em> In fact, POWERS was one of the<em> first distilleries in the world</em> — and the very first in Ireland — to start bottling their own Spirit in <em>1886</em>. Up until then, Whiskey was sold by the cask. </p><p><em>Powers John Lane</em> is consistently described as one of the<em> best Irish Whiskeys</em> created. It typifies Irish Whiskey in a truly classic way. It is a celebration of the original “Pot Still Whiskey” that was produced at John’s Lane Distillery. Tripple-distilled in copper pot stills, Powers John Lane is then matured a minimum of 12 years in second-fill and third-fill <em>American oak casks,</em> while a small portion (6%) of distillate is aged for a year in <em>Oloroso</em> <em>Sherry butts.</em> This Whiskey is all about balance in ways rarely seen in the category.</p><p><p><em>*Powers has recently changed their labels, and as the original labels are being phased out, there is still a chance that you might receive a bottle different than what is pictured. But rest assured, the liquid remains the same, regardless of the label.</em></p>
