    I mentioned it was Single Pot still, technically it is not because if the mixture of the column still whiskey. Sorry for the flub!

      Was gonna comment on the fact that it wasn't Single Pot Still....but...credit where it's due...you spotted the mistake. Love the channel btw.

      To be perfectly honest? One of my patrons noticed it during the early release. I had it in my notes to point that fact out but as you may have noticed I added a little bit more during the "overall" section that I forgot and I meant to mention that. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel :)

    Bill:
    I just picked up another bottle of Power's Gold Label and I LOVE the Spice from the Unmalted Barley. Here in Brooklyn it was $38 and change with tax at BQE Discount Liquors. A great introduction to Irish Whiskey and it is Non-Chill-filtered. Over Christmas, I recommended it to my best friend from childhood whose only experience is with Jameson. I know he will taste the difference.

    You nailed it once again with your thoughts. As good an entry-level Irish whiskey as you'll get, and at a great price too. A staple for me. At the other end of the Power's range, the John's Lane is fantastic. Sláinte.

  • @stabthedragonproductions6649

    I am sipping on a glass of Powers as I watched your show; this is gonna be a favorite! Definitely better than Jameson!

    I tried this in Dublin recently. It's a typical smooth a sweet Irish whiskey and I liked it. It's a simple sipper that has similarities to the standard Jameson.

    With the price of gasoline these days, I don't think they will be adding it to whiskey anymore lol. Thanks for this review Bill. Cheers

  • @WhiskeyNovice
    @WhiskeyNovice Před 5 lety

    Completely agree that the finish makes Powers different from most other Irish whiskies. I actually find the finish a little bitter and not particularly pleasant, but the whiskey itself stands up for itself. I still go back to it from time to time.

    I have never found the Gold Label, but I have had the Signature edition a few times and have enjoyed it a lot as a daily dram...

  • @dodgeball693
    @dodgeball693 Před 5 lety +2

    I was disappointed with Irish whiskey at first because it didn't taste more like scotch, but then I heard how dumb that sounded, lol. To me, the ones I've tried come across as lighter and crisper, almost like a lager compared to an ale. I've found I like them at the start of an evening and maybe finish with a little scotch. My favorite Irish so far has been Kinsale, a Total Wine direct spirit. It has a little depth to it even. Will definitely try the Powers!

    Bill, Great history and background info. It adds a lot to the review. Just noticed this one today at the store! Sounds very nice! But went for the last bottle of Glenfarclas 12 at $47 that usually is $60 to 80. But Scotland is just across the border from Ireland, right? ; )

    Just grabbed a bottle today. It was only $29 at the store down the street, and I'm stoked about trying it.

    Long time ago Jameson and Powers were the two most popular Irish whiskey due to sells. Powers was a bit more ahead of Jameson. Although big corporations started buying independent distilleries and had decided to make Jameson as the brand for Irish whiskey all over the world. So here in Russia everybody knows/likes Jameson. Nobody has a clue about Powers. I don't think it's even sold here.

  • @whiskeymusic9684
    @whiskeymusic9684 Před 5 lety

    As far as Power's goes, so far John's Lane is my favorite. Thoughts?

    • @Cjinglaterra
      @Cjinglaterra Před 5 lety

      Out of my price range. Three Swallow is nice, but a little higher than I’m willing to pay locally.

    What’s your number 1# Irish whiskey under $50

  • @sloan_9026
    @sloan_9026 Před 3 lety

    Not feeling this whiskey at all. Generally a fan of Irish whiskey, with Bushmills original being my go to. This whiskey has a nice nose, mellow butter and creamy almost, but the palate is very harsh, and the finish is empty. Got it as a gift so not regretting the purchase, but I would not buy again.

      The Whiskey Dic No disrespect intended... I think you have the best whiskey reviews on CZcams. You are also oddly accessible. You reply back promptly.. cheers 🥃
