✦ Neatly Summary

Powers 2005 Small Batch / 17 Year Old / Exclusive to The Whisky Exchange is a irish from Powers (United Kingdom), bottled at 40% ABV. Expect sweet, fruity and delicately floral character — fresh fruit, malt extract, vanilla, honey. An approachable dram, ideal for newcomers and casual sippers. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

Bottled exclusively for The Whisky Exchange, this 17-year-old Powers was drawn from five refill bourbon barrels filled in 2005 and matured at the Dublin distillery until 2022. The use of refill casks preserves the pot still spirit's inherent character—spicy, oily, and grain-forward—without the heavy oak influence that active bourbon barrels impose. At 51% ABV, the Irish whiskey displays the characteristic heat and rougher edges of pot still production while allowing underlying complexity to emerge. A benchmark example of mature Irish pot still whiskey for drinkers seeking authentic distillery character over cask manipulation.
