Powers Three Swallow Release is the 21st century embodiment of the traditional pure Pot Still whiskey style that made Powers famous around the world. Three Swallow features all the singular characteristics of traditional Irish Pot Still whiskey—robust, spicy and powerful. It is matured primarily in American bourbon barrels where these characteristics are amplified and complemented with strong wood character. Marrying with a small sherry aged component gives Powers Three Swallow Release balance and finesse. In true pot still style, an initial taste delivers smooth, mouth-coating barley, followed by an eruption of green apple and citrus notes. Herbs and spicy flavor are complemented by a touch of cedar wood for extra complexity. Spicy sweetness gives way to pot still-style barley character that is balanced with a hint of sherry and leads to a crisp cereal finish with toasted oak notes.
