Inspired by Gráinne Mhaol (Grace O'Malley)
Powers Gold Label reflects the type of whiskey that would have been enjoyed in the 16th century, around the time of Gráinne Mhaol. In her era, Irish whiskey was less refined, often strong and unfiltered. Powers Gold Label is crafted using a traditional pot still method, which dates back to this time, producing a bold, robust whiskey with a rich, spicy character. The process of distilling in copper pot stills allows the whiskey to maintain a full-bodied taste with complex flavours of toasted wood, cinnamon, and honey, reminiscent of a time when whiskey was powerful and unapologetic.
Nose: Bold pepper spice, honey, and toasted wood.
Taste: Rich and full-bodied, with notes of cinnamon, caramel, and oak.
Finish: Warm and lingering with a spicy, malty kick.
Powers Gold Label Irish Whiskey has received several awards, highlighting its reputation as a classic Irish whiskey. Some of its notable recognitions include:
IWSC (International Wine & Spirit Competition): Gold and silver medals for its smooth, rich character.
The Spirits Business: Awarded in the "Irish Whiskey Masters" and other notable categories.
Redbreast 12-Year-Old is a tribute to the early days of Irish whiskey distillation during the 5th century, when St. Patrick is said to have lived. The single pot still method used here—blending malted and unmalted barley—originated during this period and became a hallmark of Irish whiskey production. The whiskey is rich and full, with layers of dried fruit, nuts, and spices, which reflect the simple yet robust nature of the whiskey made during St. Patrick's time. The use of copper pot stills and the traditional distillation process creates a smooth, well-balanced whiskey that connects the past with the present.
Nose: Rich sherry, dried fruits, and nutty undertones.
Taste: Velvety smooth with notes of spice, vanilla, and roasted nuts.
Finish: Long, warm, and slightly sweet with lingering oak.

Whisky Advocate's "Whiskey of the Year": It has been named Whiskey of the Year by Whisky Advocate and other influential whiskey critics.
Connemara Peated Single Malt offers a taste of the Irish whiskey traditions that could have been enjoyed in Mayo, especially during the 18th century. While most Irish whiskeys of the time were unpeated, the tradition of using peat fires to dry malted barley was common in other regions, such as Scotland. Connemara, one of the few peated whiskeys produced in Ireland, reflects this older, earthier style. The smoky, peaty flavour is complemented by a smooth balance of vanilla, malt, and spice, resulting in a whiskey that mirrors the enduring strength of Mayo’s people through history.
Nose: Smoky peat with hints of honey and oak.
Taste: Smooth and complex with notes of vanilla, malt, and spice.
Finish: Long and warming with a touch of smoke and sweet barley.
Connemara Peated Single Malt has won several prestigious awards over the years. Some notable recognitions include:
IWSC (International Wine & Spirit Competition): Connemara has won multiple gold and silver medals in different categories.
The Scotch Whisky Masters: Connemara has earned accolades, particularly in the peated single malt category.
