Powers Whiskey

Compare 7 prices from NZ$60.68

Powers is one of Ireland's historic whiskey names, with origins in Dublin dating back to 1791. Once produced at the celebrated John's Lane Distillery, the brand is now made at Midleton Distillery in County Cork and forms part of the Irish Distillers portfolio under Pernod Ricard.

Recognised for a fuller, spicier house style, Powers has long been associated with a high proportion of pot still whiskey, delivering a robust texture and distinctive depth. The classic Gold Label remains a benchmark Irish blend, bringing together pot still and grain whiskey with notes of honey, toasted cereal, orchard fruit and gentle spice.

The broader range also reflects the brand's Dublin pot still heritage, particularly through expressions such as Three Swallow and John's Lane Release. Together they showcase Powers at its most characterful: generous, structured and quietly traditional, with a flavour profile that feels both historic and enduring.
