Powers Irish Whiskey Hybrid Tasting (March 4, 2021)

Join us virtually or in-person on Thursday, March 4th, at 7:00 PM for a Powers Irish Whiskey tasting and cocktails!

James Power established John’s Lane distillery in 1791 in Dublin, and it was one of the first distilleries in the world to sell directly to merchants and independent bottlers. Famous whisky historian Alfred Barnard wrote about his visit to the distillery:

“The old make, which we drank with our luncheon, was delicious, and finer than anything we had hitherto tasted. It was as perfect in flavour, and as pronounced in the ancient aroma of Irish Whisky so dear to the hearts of connoisseurs, as one could possibly desire, and we found a small flask of it very useful afterwards on our travels.”

When the Irish whiskey industry struggled in mid 1900’s, the distillery joined other big distilleries to form Irish Distillers, and later on consolidated production at Midleton distillery. Powers Gold Label is still one of the top selling whiskeys in Ireland.
