Penderyn Distillery, Penderyn, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales
The Welsh distillery Penderyn, which has been operating for almost 15 years, produces a whiskey of the same name, the first Welsh whiskey to emerge in over a century ...
They also have their own special refinements, in this case the port cask.
It is a distillery where the famous Jim Murray devotes a cult almost as grandiose as Ardbeg. And yet when we have a drink of Penderyn, usually we can only blatantly disagree.
As Perceval, the great knight of Wales, put it so well:
So, to summarize, I am often a victim of hummingbirds, the types that are always forgotten. Uh, no ... In short, all that to say, that I would like to be considered as Tel.
Pinkish orange as expected from its finish.
Nose:
Barley doesn't lie and shows itself from the start, mixed with a funny caramelized sugar and a lot of juicy red fruits.
Taste:
A mellow bottom of new make weaves the backstory, aided by raspberries, blackberries, spices and oak.
Finish:
We descend in beauty on the flavors and aromas expressed previously.
Balance:
Its finish only gives it qualities, and it is the final that benefits the most. Unfortunately it is the basic spirit that is lacking. Still the best Penderyn I've had to date.
Note: ★★★★★
