Penderyn Distillery, based in Wales, plays a significant role in the resurgence of Welsh whisky, a tradition that had been dormant for over a century before Penderyn's emergence. Established in 2000, Penderyn became the first operational whisky distillery in Wales since the early 1900s and began selling its whisky in 2004. The distillery is known for its innovation and commitment to quality, using a unique copper pot still design that contributes to the distinctiveness of its spirits.
This whisky is noted for its unique flavor profile and craftmanship, making it a standout choice for those interested in exploring whiskies that offer something beyond the traditional. Whether you're a seasoned whisky connoisseur or a curious newcomer, the Penderyn Madeira Wood promises a tasting experience filled with complexity and delight.
Nose:
This whisky presents a bouquet of sweet and aromatic scents, featuring shortbread cookies, orange marmalade, American oak, sawdust, and juniper, giving it a somewhat gin-like aroma with a sweetness emerging over time.
Palate:
The initial taste is marked by a juicy burst of lemons and limes, complemented by heavy lemongrass and fresh mint, adding a botanical richness. There are also undertones of cantaloupe and vanilla, with a hint of celery.
Finish:
The finish is floral, carrying forward the botanical notes with additions of orange and lingering botanical flavors reminiscent of a gin cocktail. Some tasters note a presence of tropical fruits, raisins, and vanilla that persist to the end.
Awards:
Gold medals at the International Whisky Competition in 2012, 2013, and 2014.
