Nose - burnt wood, toasted banana, a slightly savory note that’s hard to place Taste - strong dried apricot right up front, some light chocolate notes, a mild nuttiness Finish - the apricot flavor lingers sweetly for awhile, slightly dry at the back of your tongue, very mild burn
About this bottle
This very limited edition (only 2248 bottles) from the Penderyn Distillery comes from the marriage of three ex-bourbon single casks selected by the late Jim Swan. Bottled and labeled by hand, this expression focuses on the influence of the wood in the whisky, with a smooth and flavorful profile. Penderyn, the only Welsh distillery, is known for its Faraday pot stills coupled to a distillation column. Note: Not available in the US.

NZ Dramfest 2018. I tried a suite of Pendeyns years ago and was under whelmed. The Rich oak redeems. Many drams in and it holds its own. Rich viscous oak. 4.25
Advent D5: we both really liked this. Super oaky and vanilla. No burn or lingering heat. Sweet clean finish. Slight creme brulee
Aged in peat barrels but at 46%, good bite and flavor profile opens nicely with water
Nose of oak and vanilla, cinnamon and apples on the taste.
Ok
