Powerscourt Distillery, a distillery out of Ireland, recently introduced the first release in their “Estate Series” — Issue 1 of 3, the “Mill House” Limited edition single grain amarone finish Fercullen.
This is named to give a nod to their brand’s home, a 300 year old mill house built from Wicklow granite and the distillery building’s historical anchor.
This process allows the whiskey to reach an optimum mellow combination of grain, bourbon, oak and Amarone. This single grain Irish whiskey is non-chill filtered with natural colour and bottled at 46%.
The water-powered Mill House has been part of the landscape of the Powerscourt Estate for 300 years and was repurposed to become home to the visitor centre at the distillery. It has the original turbine built by Craig and Sons in Belfast.

- Nose: Spice, liquorice, vanilla, then honey with a twist of lemon, ripe peach, kiwi, cinnamon, oak.
- Taste: Smooth silky soft texture, honey and cinnamon sweetness, fruit cocktail, light chocolate.
- Finish: Long lasting sweetness from fruits and velvet texture; almost mouth-watering, yet a dry finish.
