5 Bottles of Gold Medal Winning Whisky from the Welsh Penderyn Distillery
Description
Distilling in Wales was a lost art, but in the late 1990s, in a pub in Hirwaun in the Welsh valleys, a group of friends chatted about establishing the first whisky distillery in Wales in over a century. They dreamt of creating a whisky as pure and precious as Welsh gold. Penderyn now produces award-winning single malt whiskies and spirits at their distillery on the foothills of the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales.
Incredibly these five bottles fully representing the Penderyn finished whiskys, have all gained Gold Medals in the prestigious 2021 Spirits Business World Whisky Masters.
Madeira – This whisky is the original Penderyn ‘house style’, aged in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in ex-Madeira wine casks to bring out its full gold character. It is bottled at 46% abv.
Nose: A classic freshness with aromas of cream toffee, rich fruit and raisins.
Palate: Crisp and finely rounded, with the sweetness to balance an appetising dryness.
Finish: Notes of tropical fruit, raisins and vanilla persist.
Balance: Oaky vanilla tones/dry sweetness.
Peated – This whisky has a delicate spirit with a medium peaty character and a light golden tone. It is bottled at 46% abv. This whisky has a Kosher certificate.
Nose: It introduces itself with sweet, aromatic smoke. Under this, there are signature notes of vanilla, green apple and refreshing citrus
Palate: An array of gentle flavours tempts even the most sophisticated palate.
Finish: Smoke and vanilla linger on the attractive medium-length finish.
Balance: Light smoke/citrus fruitiness.
Portwood – This Portwood-finish whisky is a firm favourite among our customers in France and a real attention grabber. It is bottled at 46% abv.
Nose: Aromas of rich dried fruits with dark chocolate and cranberries; a hint of toasty oak mingles with a baked nutty dryness.
Palate: A creamy richness with some honey and spiced notes emerging.
Finish: Smooth with a soft oak and honey sweetness lingering gently on the tongue.
Balance: Rich wood/chocolate & dry fruits.
Sherrywood - The Penderyn Sherrywood in this bottle has been aged in ex-bourbon barrels and ex-Oloroso sherry casks to bring out its rich fruity flavour.
Nose: aromas of dark fruit and rich toffee mingle with green apples and hazelnuts to create a deeper mystery
Palate: rich sweetness gives way to refreshing dryness.
Finish: sweet notes of toffee and sultana persist in the long finish.
Balance: Sherry and oak/winter spices.
Rich Oak - This is the latest addition to our Gold Range. Limited Edition Rich Oak Single Cask and 50% bottlings have won major international awards, and so we are delighted to make Rich Oak a permanent fixture in our range. It is matured in a range of specially selected ex-bourbon and rejuvenated oak casks. This whisky has a Kosher certificate.
Nose: Dark chocolate fudge with cinnamon and pepper spices, followed by lush fruit – green apples, mango, banana and guavas.
Palate: Rich and complex. A creamy texture with hints of vanilla, oak and cinnamon, and a hint of nutty toffee.
Finish: A creamy-vanilla flavour which is in no rush to ebb away.
