Powers Rye is the brand’s venture into the world of rye whiskey, a relatively rare offering from an Irish distillery. Unlike traditional rye whiskeys, Powers Rye features an Irish twist, using a mash bill of 100% Irish rye and distilled in traditional pot stills. This whiskey does not carry an age statement but is aged in ex-bourbon barrels, providing a soft and well-rounded profile. On the nose, it brings forward herbal and earthy aromas of fresh rye bread, fennel, and pepper. The palate is spicy yet balanced, with flavors of black pepper, ginger, and dried herbs, complemented by subtle vanilla and honeyed sweetness from the oak. The finish is long, with a pleasant rye spice kick and lingering warmth.
