Powers, Gold Label Whiskey, Arklow, Circa 1980s/90s

Presented here is a Powers Gold Label Whiskey jug crafted by Arklow in the 1980s/90s. Arklow produced two variations of this jug – one without a handle, showcased here, and another featuring a handle.

Powers is a well-known Irish whiskey brand produced by the Irish Distillers, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard. Initially a single pot still whiskey, Powers Gold Label was the first Irish whiskey to be bottled. It is one of the best-selling whiskeys in Ireland.

Powers is credited with the innovation of the miniature whiskey bottle commonly found in mini-bars and on air-plane drink carts. Known as “The Baby Power” in its early days, it was designed with a small corkscrew and cork. Its compact size made it convenient to carry in a coat pocket.
