Powers Irish Rye

Tasting Notes:

  • Eye: Deep golden.
  • Nose: Burnt orange, maraschino cherries, and toffee banana with rich warming notes of freshly baked rye bread, buttered croissants, and charred oak. Robust spices of clove, white pepper, and ginger are met with sweet vanilla and earthly sugar cane.
  • Taste: Candied ginger with orange peel, clove spice, and peppermint. Caramelized apples with brown sugar, sweet cereal, and red liquorice notes build while the vanilla and charred oak influences work in balance with the rye signature spices.
  • Finish: Satisfying long, with a prickle of chili oil that continues to linger for a time in the company of honey glazed fruits and hardy cereal undertones.

Additional Notes:

  • Powers Rye was born from careful experimentation at Irish Distillers’ famed Midleton Distillery in Cork, Ireland.
  • Powers Irish Rye balances the trademark earthy, peppery character of rye with the sweet flavor profile imparted from the maturation in seasoned American oak casks.
  • ABV: 43.2%
