Whisky Reviews for Powers 12-year-old

  1. mydramofwhiskey scored this whisky 91 points Expert Senior

    Solid pot still whiskey! If you can get it at the price stated here, that's great value. This whiskey is mostly 14-16 yo first-fill bourbon cask whiskies and about 5% sherry cask. Triple distilled, not chill-filtered and bottled at 46% ABV.

    Nose: Fruity (pear), vanilla, figs. Some floral notes come up on the second and third nose
    Palate: A bit oily, nice burn, some tobacco and leather - a real old man's whiskey.
    Finish: Nice and long

  6. praisethepasta scored this whisky 85 points Expert Senior

    While not complex, it has a lot to offer in terms of flavour,and it does remind me of what you might call an ‘old school’ whiskey. That triple distilled pot still whiskey makes for a lovely creaminess, while the honey and the spices sort of glue everything together making this a well-balanced, rich yet easy accessible and very enjoyable whiskey.
    • Nose
      86 86
      On the nose there is honey, lots and lots of honey, accompanied by sweet spices, almost leading into sweet(pipe) tobacco. It has a creamy sensation, with a lot of vanilla, toast and breakfast cereals, apples and pears, and a lovely leathery –waxy- polish touch.
    • Taste
      85 85
      The palate comes in soft, yet busy, with a very creamy texture. The cereal notes are now more on the forefront, with the spices moving in right behind them, with a lot of vanilla and a sweet peppery / ginger like note – possibly some cinnamon as well. There is some young, sappy wood here and dried fruits with raisins and sultanas. Mid palate, the creaminess just evaporates into thin air, which is a bit of a pity as things just sort of stop developing.
    • Finish
      84 84
      medium long, warm and dry with again the sweet spices of vanilla and ginger. The cream lingers on and on and slowly yet surely evolves towards a cereal note that softly fades out.
