Dragon collection: 3 bottles from the penderyn distillery
Description
The Red Dragon is the national flag of Wales and the Royal Welsh badge bears the motto, ‘Y ddraig goch ddyry cychwyn’, which translates as ‘The red dragon inspires action.’ It features in ancient Welsh tales and was the battle standard of legendary Welsh princes. Welshman Henry Tudor took the flag to Bosworth, where, in 1485, he became the last king of England to be crowned on the battlefield.
The Penderyn Dragon is reborn!
The Penderyn Dragon whisky range was first introduced in 2015. This update helps to elevate the Dragon range, offering a stylish and sophisticated bottle and gift carton, with a great award-winning whisky inside! Not only will our new packaging allow this range to stand out, we’ve also chosen a lighter bottle (less glass) and reduced weight in the carton, therefore making it more environmentally sustainable too.
Legend is a Madeira-finish single malt whisky, bottled at 40% abv. (43% in the USA)
TASTING NOTES
Nose: Aromas of fresh apples and citrus fruits intermingle with cream fudge and sultana raisins to create a complex yet fresh, clean and well-balanced whisky.
Palate: Incredibly smooth and both fresh and rich dried fruits abound. Delicate and sweet on the palate with just a hint of bitterness to remain refreshing.
Finish: A long aftertaste of Madeira cake and sultanas.
Myth
Myth is a single malt whisky finished in a range of specially selected ex-bourbon and rejuvenated oak casks., bottled at 40% abv. (43% in the USA)
TASTING NOTES
Nose: Fresh and lively, Myth has mixed citrus fruits mingling with apple, pear drops and the merest hint of tropical fruits.
Palate: Sweetness dominates then moves over to allow some refreshing bitterness to emerge while the mixed fruits continue to dominate the flavour.
Finish: Gradually all the flavours ebb away to leave memories of a lively and light style of whisky that is easy to drink.
Celt
Celt is a single malt whisky finished in ex-peated quarter casks, bottled at 40% abv. (43% in the USA)
TASTING NOTES
Nose: Mild aromas of peat smoke, early morning at the rocky seaside and warm marmalade on toast all compete for our attention.
Palate: It begins with great sweetness before the smoky, slightly medicinal flavours descend.
Finish: Slight bitterness follows that leaves a long and lingering freshness in the mouth.
