Powers Gold Label

Spicy, cannot taste the honey

Awesome warm irish whiskey for value

N: Coconut (really?), mint, and orchard fruit first. Then grassy and medicinal flavors. Finally the more standard vanilla, caramel, and toffee. Possibly some bread pudding too. P: Fresh stone fruit with a pound cake like malt and sweetness. Definitely some creamy vanilla. Reminds, on the whole, of the trifle dessert my mom makes - layers of fruit, cake, and whipped cream. Finish is spicy, but very short and not assertive enough to name flavors. Tannic bitterness lingers after the spice fades. Mouthfeel is creamy and maybe slightly oily. Great whiskey for the price range. This is not far behind the single pot still whiskeys that cost twice as much - just lacks some complexity, especially in the finish - but this is very drinkable. Also love the new bottle and label. Looks old and new at the same time on the shelf.

Malt, honey caramel, sweet, soft plum. Mild and tasty for what it is. Soft, short, decent, way better than anything else cheap. Less defined, less crisp Irish alternative. Ethanol at the end, but good enough for me!

Honey, cloves, lemon nose. Notes of butterscotch. Some chocolate to it. Medium finish with some spices. Incredibly smooth.
