Distiller Notes
Powers has been exciting the tastebuds of whiskey drinkers since 1791. Powers Rye is made from 100% Irish rye mash, then triple distilled in traditional copper pot stills and bottled non-chill filtered at 86.4 proof. The result is a whiskey of outstanding flavor and complexity.
Candied ginger with orange peel, clove spice and peppermint. Caramelized apples with brown sugar, sweet cereal and red licorice notes build while the vanilla and charred oak influences work in balance with the rye signature spices.
Try it neat, over ice, or in a rye cocktail – it stands tall any way you sip it.
Known for its peppery, spicy bite, Rye serves as the ideal base for cocktails like the Sazerac, Manhattan or Old Fashioned. In order for a spirit to be labeled an American Rye Whiskey, the mash bill must be comprised of at least 51% rye grain. The remainder of the mash is most often a combination of malted barley, wheat or corn. After distillation is complete, the spirit is transferred to unused, charred white oak barrels for a minimum of two years, though many producers choose to age longer.
