PowersThreeSwallow(700mL)

<p>Breathtaking barley bomb. </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 sold in Ireland.</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>Three Swallow Release</em> is a modern retelling of the old <em>Powers story </em>and the traditional “Pure Pot Still Whiskey” — a style that helped POWERS become one of the best sellers in the world. It’s unmistakably Irish, made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple-distilled in copper pot stills, and matured for 5 to 7 years in second-fill and third-fill American oak casks. A small portion (3%) of distillate aged in Oloroso Sherry butts is added, resulting in a <em>non-chill-filtered, </em><em>complex</em> <em>and full-bodied</em> Whiskey with notes of spice, honey and fruit.</p><p><u>Smartass Corner:</u><em>The name “Three Swallow” comes from the Power Family’s three coachmen, who would prepare a small flask of POWERS when going for a long trip — just enough to give each man a sip but not interfere with their job.</em></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>
