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.

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

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

Angelrush 4.0

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
