Penderyn Single Malt Whisky was launched on 1 March 2004, a date which signalled the return of whisky distillation to Wales after an absence of more than 100 years. The distillery was officially opened by HRH, Prince Charles.
Penderyn is made at the Penderyn Distillery which is located on the southern reaches of the Brecon Beacons.
This is a single cask whisky finished in Ruby Port Casks.
Nose: Rich ruby port heaped with red berries including cranberries, raspberries; dried fruits – a cornucopia of figs, dates, raisins, apricots – and chocolate with a hint of salted caramel.
Taste: Caramel sweetness sits side by side with an American oak dryness; some spiced honey notes; vanilla and dried fruits.
Finish: A smooth fruity sweetness giving way to an oaky dryness.
