About Powers John Lane
Powers John's Lane is a premium 12-year-old single pot still Irish whiskey produced by Pernod Ricard at Midleton Distillery, bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof). It revives the historic style from the now-closed John's Lane Distillery (shut in 1976), using a unique mash of malted and unmalted barley for its signature creamy texture, spicy backbone, and depth. Aged primarily in ex-bourbon American oak with a touch of Oloroso sherry casks, it delivers rich, full-bodied flavors of honey, vanilla, dried fruits, baking spices, and earthy tobacco notes. What makes it special is its robust, spirit-forward profile—non-chill-filtered for oily mouthfeel—standing out in the Irish whiskey category against lighter blends like Jameson by offering bold pot still character akin to Redbreast but with distinct Midleton funk and balance. Ideal for whiskey enthusiasts seeking complexity, bourbon lovers branching into Irish, or those who enjoy sipping neat. At $52.64 for 750ml, it offers excellent value for its quality and heritage.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
An abundance of earthy aromas greets the nose, with leather, tobacco, and charred wood layered alongside dark chocolate and treacle toffee. Subtle floral notes mingle with apricot, vanilla custard, coconut, cinnamon, and orange. Light oak balances soft fudge and toffee, inviting without overpowering.
👅 Palate
Full-bodied with a thick, creamy, oily mouthfeel, it opens with spice, vanilla, honey, and dried apricot or pears. Raisins, caramel, candied orange, and gingerbread add richness, while baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg provide warmth. A dry turn emerges toward the back with polished tannins and gentle pepper.
✨ Finish
Long and satisfying with lingering honey sweetness, toasted oak, and dark chocolate. Earthy green notes, cardamom, and peppers fade into a warming, mouth-coating echo.
