Powers John's Lane

Bold flavour. Historic roots. A whiskey that honours Dublin’s distilling past.
A proud nod to Dublin’s whiskey-making heritage, Powers John’s Lane Release revives the character and craftsmanship of the original Powers Distillery, which stood on John’s Lane in the heart of the city for over a century. This 12-year-old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is a masterpiece from Midleton Distillery — crafted to honour the robust, full-bodied style that once defined Dublin whiskey.

Matured primarily in American oak ex-bourbon barrels with a touch of Oloroso sherry cask influence, John’s Lane captures a perfect balance of richness, spice, and smoothness. On the nose, it reveals deep aromas of toffee, roasted nuts, leather, and sweet vanilla, underpinned by toasted oak and dried fruit. The palate delivers layers of dark chocolate, honeyed malt, spice, and a touch of fruitcake, all enveloped in that unmistakably creamy pot still texture. The finish is long, warming, and gently spiced — a tribute to tradition and craftsmanship that endures.

Powers John’s Lane is more than a whiskey; it’s a journey back to the golden age of Irish distilling. Bold, complex, and unapologetically characterful, it bridges the old and new — a reminder that the heart of Irish whiskey still beats with Dublin pride.

Why we love it:
We love Powers John’s Lane for its rich, authentic personality and classic Dublin style. Every sip tells a story of heritage and resilience — a whiskey that honours tradition without compromise. The mix of bourbon and sherry cask maturation adds both warmth and depth, making it a must-have for whiskey lovers in Ireland seeking something timeless yet distinctive.
