Powers John's Lane Release 12 Year

Bottled 01/13/2017 (?)

This might be the best Irish whiskey I’ve had. Very crisp apple juice and vanilla nose that carries into the palette. The flavor is rich with a long finish giving a ton of complexity for this category. As it opens I pick up some baking spices, oak and darker fruit tones, not quite prune but close. I seek out a journey in my whiskey tasting and this delivers.

My first real taste of Irish whiskey and its a belter 👌 oily, buttery, full mouthfeel with sweet vanilla, shortbread and green apple. Finish is quite hot and a tad spicy. Lingers too. Smooth and very moreish.
