Review: Powers Gold Label Irish Whiskey

Now appearing with a new (and really, only modestly different) label design (pictured below), today we turn our attentions to Powers Gold Label Irish Whiskey, a surprisingly big brand in the Irish business that is a standard in Ireland but less commonly known stateside.

Very traditional, this light-bodied whiskey (the recipe inside is the same as before) offers medium gold hues and a good nose of vanilla. The body is surprisingly creamy, with a nutty vanilla character on the palate, some butterscotch, and an interesting, herbal finish. Overall, it's simple and easy-drinking, fine on its own or with your favorite mixer. An excellent value, too.

80 proof.
