TASTING NOTES
Nose: This rich bronze coloured whisky reveals that Penderyn's unique green apple, banana and tropical fruits have to share the limelight with crème brûlée and apparent fortified wine
Taste: Intensely sweet to begin, then rich fruity and vanilla flavours emerge. This is a big, robust yet remarkably smooth whisky (try adding just a drop or two of water into its 50% strength)
Finish: A melange of flavours gradually fades into a long finish with a creamy, vanilla-like aftertaste. A rewarding dram!
This is the first Penderyn to be released from the distillery's own barrels, specially formulated to create a rich, smooth whisky.
