Not sure if this is the right section or whatever but give me a break

Anyway just started uni in london and was shocked when the woman at the bar asked me what Powers Whiskey was! PLease tell me this is a one off and it is available over here aswell!

Thanks (a bit drunk)

I'm sure it can be got somewhere, but it's not widely distributed. Pernod-Ricard would like you to drink Jameson instead.

Don't think I've seen it here before to be honest. In most places, Jameson and Bushmills are the two default Irish Whiskeys, and beyond that they have something a bit more upmarket like Redbreast or Bushmills 10 YO.

Saw Paddy for sale once.

Surly the chain of plastic paddy bars O'Neill's has it

Also it got to be endemic in Kilburn

O'Neills is a good shout actually, i seen one yesterday, might try it out.

Powers is not exported to any significant degree, if at all. Paddy is to some extent but all the money is in Jameson. It is a shame because I think there is definitly a foreign market for the more robust pot still style of Powers.

At that point I expect Pernod Ricard expects you to trade up to Redbreast.

Power's is great value. Multinational drinks companies hate that

must have a powers again soon, great brand name too!
p-r seem to promote jameson only abroad, they could make a lot more money with a bit more marketing effort.
