An incredibly special release that’s won practically every Whiskey award going.

Formerly a wool mill, the Midleton Distillery, named after Lord Midleton who inherited the building, subsequently turning it into a what is now one of Ireland’s most iconic and loved distilleries from a mill in 1825 with his two brothers. The distillery includes the World’s largest still with a capacity of over 31,000 gallons!

Powers John Lane is consistently described as one of the best Irish Whiskeys created. It typifies Irish Whiskey in a truly classic way. Mixing maturation in Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks, this Whiskey is all about balance in ways rarely seen in the category.

Member Reviews and Ratings of Powers 12 Year Old John's Lane Release
Robert
Robert,
Aroma of a fruit salad. Fruit with a hint of vanilla in the first taste. Adding water really smooths it out. Not bad but not worth the price.
 
Jasson
Jasson,
A solid 9 from me! Love the immediate blast of vanilla and fruit, then spicy toward the end. Remarkably smooth, even with the higher ABV. This came in a taster box. I will certainly look for a full bottle.
 
Amanda
Amanda,
Quick with the fruity taste and smooth all the way down. Not much complexity to it, which doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Super easy to drink.
 
Lori
Lori,
Descent balance and complexity.
 
Lara
Lara,
Much ado about nothing. No finish. No nose.
 
Dan
Dan,
I don’t know much, but I know what I like, and I like this whiskey a lot. Very smooth and a very nice flavor.

Spicy & Smokey.
 
Richard
Richard,
Not a whole lot going on here. It's sweet but I'm not getting the floral or fruit. Not much different than a standard Irish. Not worth the extra cost.
 
Eddie
Eddie,
Very smooth, Nice finish. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to try Irish whiskey.

Smooth, the best of the three from the tasting box. Honey, vanilla and a bit of butter
 
arne
arne,
the spicy notes are pretty prominent, yet it’s a little too sweet. didn’t like the finish too much.
 
Antti
Antti,
It is a very good, balanced, Irish Whiskey with a fresh birth; while a balanced life; leads to a dry & oily death.
 
Matt
Matt,
Smooth and warm. Quickly moving it's way up my list of favorites.
 
Greg
Greg,
Quite drinkable on its own. Flavor spiral is on target. Nice nose, smooth and sweet up front, with some pleasing heat going down. Price point seems a bit high. Enjoyable dram!
 
Scott
Scott,
Nice & smooth with a sweet flavor.
 
Ian
Ian,
Smooth with great depth of flavor.
 
Katherine
Katherine,
Sweet. Almost banana caramel. Very smooth.
 
Steven
Steven,
Sweet aroma and taste but astringent on the throat. Dry but smooth finish.
 
alexey
alexey,
Somewhat spicy and strong, but with pleasant vanilla aftertaste. Enjoyable
 
Kendall
Kendall,
Well balanced and inviting. My perfect match.
 
Matthew
Matthew,
I really enjoyed this one. A little less nose and finish as the Irishman, but incredibly smooth and had a lot of grain flavor. Nice easy drinker.
 
James
James,
Absolutely loved this Whiskey. Perfect balance. Very smooth.
 
Ivan
Ivan,
It was okay, nothing stood out for me, smooth, but not enough spice for my pallete.
 
Ross
Ross,
Nice fruit start, after taste isn’t for me. But fun and playful.
 
Jeffrey
Jeffrey,
Real smooth with nice chocolate spicy flavor.
 
Catherine
Catherine,
Wasn’t fond of the after taste
 
Zack
Zack,
Perhaps it’s my pallet, but I just can’t taste any distinction in the flavors. I feel the spiciness which is a nice touch without overpowering, but nothing else quite comes through. Good taste and feel overall, just can’t make out the particulars.
 
Scott
Scott,
Another great option. I will be looking at buying this.
 
Michael
Michael,
Just what I want in an Irish whiskey. Smooth
 
Shant
Shant,
Balanced whisk(e)y with nice fruit and coffee. Not as smooth as we were expecting, but that didn't detract from the experience.
 
Jimmie
Jimmie,
My favorite whiskey. Spicy and sweet. I love this variety!
 
Dan
Dan,
The fruit overpowered it.
 
Martin
Martin,
Very pleasant when nosing. Vanilla at the beginning and then a hint of fruit. Short aftertaste. Smoother after the first taste. Enjoyed it. One that you would want to have a bottle on the shelf to change your other tastings up a bit.
 
Steven
Steven,
Smooth and delicious. Sweet fruit and toasted barley. Nice spice complexity. Gone in a flash.
 
Michael
Michael,
It's ok - I've had worse I've had better - in the Irish Whiskey world it doesn't really stand on its own.
 
Andraž
Andraž,
