Nose
Spicy, honeyed, with a touch of perfumed oils, it is full-bodied and flavoursome.
Taste
The familiar taste of Ireland’s favourite whiskey is enhanced by long ageing to reveal a spicy complexity and additional velvet smoothness.
Finish
The velvet smoothness is finished with a distinguishing touch of gentle woodiness.
Ultimate Beverage Challenge 93 points - The nose is a wonderfully concentrated version of the standard Powers Whiskey with a greater presence of toffee that marries ideally with honey, toasted grains, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon bark. The palate echoes the nose offering rich pot still Whiske (Mar 2012)

Powers 12 Year Old Special Reserve was launched in 2000. It retains the classic Powers’ spicy, honeyed, full-bodied flavour, enhanced and enriched by years of extra aging in carefully selected American oak barrels. It is best enjoyed neat or with a little water.
