In 1791, John Power founded the Powers Distillery on John's Lane, which at the time was located on the outskirts of Dublin. John Power was the first Irish distiller to bottle his own whiskey, adopting a Gold Label. The "Gold Label" ensures high quality whiskey and worldwide renown for the distillery. No other whiskey tastes like Powers whiskey because it is unique. A blend of pot still and grain whiskey distilled three times and then carefully matured to finally become pot still whiskey , this unique distillation process offers a complex and rich taste. Since 1975, Powers has been produced at the famous Midleton Distillery, one of the most modern in the world in Cork. The old distillery has been converted into a museum and is now a must-visit in the region.
