Cask-Matured Amarone Whiskeys

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Powerscourt Distillery Launches the Final Estate Series Whiskey

— July 25, 2023 — Lifestyle
The Powerscourt Distillery, an Irish producer, has unveiled the latest addition to its Estate Series - 'The Gates,' a unique Amarone cask-matured single malt whiskey. This release serves as the third and final expression in Fercullen Whiskey's Estate Series, which showcases a blend of Bourbon and Amarone cask-matured whiskeys. The first offering in this range was 'The Mill House,' featuring Amarone cask-finished single-grain whiskey, followed by the second bottling, a blended whiskey called 'Italian Gardens.'

“The Gates is a fitting finale to our Estate Series with the introduction of our own Powerscourt-distilled single malt whiskey. We have continued our Amarone influence with a marriage of fully matured Amarone cask whiskey with ex-Bourbon matured whiskey. Following our Fercullen Single Malt release in April, ‘The Gates’ see us continue to release the spirit of Wicklow to the world," said John Cashman, head of brand and new product development for The Powerscourt Distillery.

'The Gates' is measured at 46% ABV and is available at select alcohol retailers as well as the Powerscourt Distillery across the UK.
