A very strong aroma. Orange and cocoa mainly. Taste is incredibly smooth yet full. Fruit, toffee, butterscotch. Chocolate taste builds. Smoky undertones. Complex yet easy to drink.
This is a very smooth east drinking whisky. Vanilla, caramel and short bread. All the usual Irish notes you would expect. I enjoyed this pour.
Smooth with a slightly sweet Carmel note. I've enjoyed this with a couple of friends & before we knew it, the bottle was gone. Addicting.
A bit pricier than the regular version of Powers but not different (re: better) enough for me to merit the price differential.
Tried this at the Ashford castle and enjoyed it. Easy drinking w vanilla and caramel
Best Irish Whiskey. Back to the basic pot still too long in the waiting.
