Powers John’s Lane 12 Years Review
This pot still release ages for 12 years in ex-bourbon casks, while a small proportion also rests for one year in Oloroso sherry butts. The resulting spirit has a luxurious profile that's simultaneously complex and concentrated. Baked apple, honey, and baking spice notes form a robust core, while hints of leather and earth add nuance.
