An intense, Sherry wood Grand Cru finished, Single Malt Whiskey by Penderyn Distillery in Wales, United Kingdom crafted using a pot still created by Dr. David Faraday & bottled at 92 Proof. It has an aromatic birth with notes of wood, grain, fruit & spice; while a bold & velvety life adds notes of vanilla; oak tannins, red berries, blackcurrants, hazelnuts, pears, sultanas, marzipan, caramel, figs, delicate frangipane, chocolate ganache & a hint of coffee; that leads to a long & dry death with more oak tannins.

Rich, complex, sweet with some spice. Gives a punch of deep fruit. A tasty whisky to savour in the mouth.
Smells like burning rubber, but tastes much better than it smells
Warm, sweet, some rasberies soft, hottish finish
