Powerscourt Distillery Unveils ‘The Gates’
Powerscourt Distillery concludes its Estate Series with “The Gates,” the final instalment of the trilogy. “The Gates” is a tribute to the historic Chorus Gate of the Powerscourt Estate. The intricately designed Venetian Gates of the Powerscourt Estate, created by skilled craftsmen of the past, served as the inspiration for this blend.
This final whiskey continues the journey that started with the first release; an Amarone finished Single Grain called ‘The Mill House’. The series continued with ‘The Italian Gardens’, a limited-release blend that won the World Whiskies Award for the World’s Best Limited Release Blend. “The Gates” completes this unique exploration of the distillery’s heritage and craft.
This edition, a Fercullen Single Malt, is an amalgamation of Bourbon and Amarone matured whiskeys, Fercullen Estate Series 3, The Gates will be available from the Distillery website and Visitor Centre from July 3rd and nationwide from trade partners in the coming weeks. The Gates RRP €75 has a 46% ABV and is a limited-edition numbered bottle release.
John Cashman, Head of Brand and New product development for The Powerscourt Distillery, “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”.
