Penderyn Maderia Single Malt Welsh Whisky 750ml
Description: | The label says Aur Cymru which translates into Welsh gold. I think that is an appropriate name for this whisky. This was the first distillery in Wales in over 100 years and tasting this wysgi (Welsh word for whisky) I can not for the life of me figure out what the heck they were waiting for! Distilled from malted barley in a custom still, using world famous water and aged in bourbon barrels until they give all they can to the spirit which is then transferred to Madeira barrels to rest until perfection. Penderyn doesnt tell you how old this whisky is; they arent worried about that. The wysgi is bottled when it is perfectly ready. The nose is sweet and fruity, showing fruits like mango, grape, green apples and honey dew melon with oak structure, white tea, nougat, heather and soft vanilla. The palate eloquently translates the aromas into flavors and builds to include herbs, sultanas and tea biscuit. The finish spins to stewed fruit spices and ginger but is comparatively short while maintaining a completely fresh, crisp persistence. This is exquisite whiskey- a treasure to be savored neat, with a drop of water or an ice chip and the time to enjoy it thoroughly. |
