Powers Three Swallow Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Vibrant, spicy, and unmistakably Irish, Powers Three Swallow Release represents the purest expression of Powers’ signature single pot still style. Crafted at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, this release pays tribute to the original Powers’ tradition of supplying three “swallow” cask samples to its master distillers — a nod to excellence in quality and balance.

Triple distilled and matured in first-fill bourbon and a small number of Oloroso sherry casks, it perfectly captures Powers’ hallmark character: robust pot still spice, creamy vanilla sweetness, and a touch of dried fruit complexity. Bottled at 43.2% ABV and non-chill filtered, it retains its natural texture and depth, offering a whiskey experience that is both traditional and modern.

Powers Three Swallow sits proudly between approachability and intensity — a whiskey crafted for those who appreciate heritage, craftsmanship, and full-bodied Irish flavour.

Born in Dublin in 1791, Powers Whiskey has long stood as a symbol of quality, integrity, and innovation. One of Ireland’s first distillers to bottle its own whiskey, Powers set the standard for consistency and craftsmanship in the 19th century, quickly earning its place as one of Ireland’s most trusted names.

Today, Powers is produced at the Midleton Distillery, where its spirit is crafted in traditional copper pot stills using a high-barley mashbill that delivers unmistakable body and spice. The Three Swallow Release honours the legacy of Powers’ early distillers, whose three “swallow” samples symbolised both mastery and precision.

Rooted in Dublin’s distilling heritage and perfected in Cork’s modern heartland, Powers Three Swallow bridges centuries of craftsmanship, capturing the bold yet balanced essence of true Irish pot still whiskey.
