Powerscourt Distillery Launch Exclusive Duty-Free Release with ARI Dublin

The Powerscourt Distillery is thrilled to unveil an exclusive 23-year-old Single Malt, meticulously matured and finished in a single Ruby Port cask. Priced at €310, this limited-edition release is available exclusively at The Irish Whiskey Collection in The Loop, Dublin Airport, while stocks last. 

Handpicked by the ARI Whiskey Brand Ambassadors, this travel retail exclusive is a double-distilled Single Malt, aged for 20 years in ex-bourbon barrels and finished for an additional 33 months in a Ruby Port cask.

Bottled at 52.1%, non-chill filtered, and naturally coloured, this rare release is limited to just 301 bottles, showcasing the pinnacle of craftsmanship from Powerscourt Distillery. 

 “When this whiskey was laid down, there were only three distilleries in Ireland. This liquid is truly exceptional,” says Paul Corbett, Master Distiller at Powerscourt Distillery. 

 Tasting Notes: 

  • Nose: Summer notes of strawberry meringue, clotted cream, and butterscotch. 
  • Palate: Layers of strawberry sherbet, toffee sauce, with hints of warm oak spice. 
  • Finish: A long-lasting finish of toffee, dried red fruits, dry leather, and spice. 

Ryan Stapleton, Head of Global Sales, adds, “We are delighted to launch the Fercullen 23-Year-Old Single Malt Ruby Port Finish Single Cask with the ARI team at Dublin Airport, a crucial gateway to our international markets. ARI has been a key partner for us, and their team selected this exceptional cask during a visit to our distillery. This release exemplifies the finest Irish whiskey we have to offer.”
