This bottling of a 12-year-old single pot still Irish whiskey from the Midleton distillery with the name Powers Johns Lane Release is intended to commemorate the Powers Johns Lane Distillery in Dublin and recreate the flavour of the whiskey produced there. The whisky matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks and Spanish oak casks and was bottled in 2014.
Midleton is a distillery in Midleton, County Cork, Ireland, which was founded in 1825 by the Murphy family. From the beginning, the distillery was built on a large scale, so that even today Midleton has the largest pot still in the world. At the end of the 19th century, Midleton merged with surrounding distilleries to form the Cork Distilleries Company, which in 1966 merged with Jameson and Powers from Dublin to form Irish Distillers Limited. In 1975 the distillery was closed down and relocated to a new adjacent factory. The old buildings now house a museum.
Ireland has long played a leading role in the world as a whiskey producer. Not only was whiskey (or whiskey-like) distilled very early (from the 14th century onwards), but the sheer number of distilleries that developed over time (by 1800 there were already over 2000 distilleries) is remarkable.
