Following the success of Penderyn Port Wood Limited single cask edition launched in August 2009, and named as 'European Single Cask Whisky of the Year' by Jim Murray, the independent whisky expert and author of the Whisky Bible, we are delighted to announce the launch of our new Penderyn Port Wood Edition, Cask PT26.
This is a limited edition of 216 bottles at cask strength of 60.6% abv. It has a hand written label to verify cask strength, cask number and bottle number and each label will by signed by our Master Distiller, world renowned distilling and wood expert, Dr Jim Swan.
The bottle is presented in a hand made American oak box (American oak is used to make the barrels in which Penderyn is matured), which has been specially commissioned for Penderyn Distillery and produced locally in Wales, by fine furniture maker Giancarlo Bianchi.
Tasting Notes
The taste of this premium single cask whisky does not disappoint! Freshness, rich fruits, dark and tropical and rich strong wine are all present. In the mouth ‘rich' is the buzzword, a mixture of red fruits mingle with tropical fruits - mango and even papaya hide the most delicate nuances of citrus and pineapple. The finish is long with a velvety softness, hints of new pencil shavings pop up now and again, all leaving a feeling of warmth and satisfyingly comfortable. This is truly one of our finest single cask whiskies.
