Powers Gold Label 12 Special Reserve

Country: Ireland

Region:

Type: Irish

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 40%

Score: 90 Points

This comes from Ireland’s Old Midleton Distillery, and the nose is dry and dusty with notes of wood shavings and pepper. The taste is very smooth, and starts off honey-sweet before developing a nice cinnamon note that balances well with the honey. The finish is spicy and lingering with a slight tartness underneath.
