Powers Gold Label Distiller’s Cut Irish Blended Malt Whiskey, 70cl

A standard of Irish whiskey that was found in many homes in Ireland. A good benchmark to considering other brands. It's a good drink.

I won't lie when I say that the new bottle design and rebrand threw me when I first opened the box. Which probably also tells you how often I open a new bottle. Aside from that shock the whiskey is the same as I expected. There is a reason why Powers Gold Label has been the favourite whiskey in Irish family homes for generations. Outside of Ireland, drinking Powers Gold Label is the road less travelled in thanks to Jamesons winning space for Irish whiskey in bars around the world. Flavourwise it's similar to Jamesons, but slightly less rounded and (used to be) slightly less expensive. The slight loss in roundness benefits the flavour. If you are used to drinking Scotch then you are in for a much smoother experience altogether. If you really miss the harshness of Scotch rather than the pleasant warmth of Powers or Jamesons. For my home, this is my go to with Red Breast or Jamesons Triple Crest as the rare treat.

I was a young man when I first tasted Powers and I was very impressed. I've been a lifelong, primarily whisky and whiskey drinker, but Powers dipped way below my horizon for many years! I saw it on Amazon as I was ordering another Irish whiskey and thought, why not; 'for the sake of auld lang syne!' What a great decision. Powers is, if anything even better than my memory of it. Deliciously sweet, mild and mellow, with a finish that lasts a considerable length of time.

Impressive Irish whiskey that seems to add extra smells and flavours the more I have a taster.

This is the first time I have tried Power's Gold Label and I can, as a seasoned Whisk(e)y drinker, recommend it wholeheartedly. It is smooth, sweet, spicy and comforting and for the price is a bargain. I find some Irish whiskey disappointing when compared with my favourite Islays and Campbeltowns but this is one of those drams that satisfies from the nose, through the taste to the finish and a real whiskey chaser if there ever was.......I am buying this again....

a neighbour joined us in the garden for wine, then we both produced our own Irish Whiskey bottles for comparison, we loved this one and could not believe what great value this was when we saw it on Amazon - we had our own bottle within 24 hours! great stuff!

If you want to be a whiskey drinker bud you generally find it a little harsh then try this and it may be the one you have been looking for

I bought a bottle of this from Amazon as a gift for my Son and he loved it. I popped into Waitrose today and there it was, reduced to £21.45 so I thought I'd try it myself and it is nice, very smooth and likeable!
