Penderyn Icons of Wales No 9 Single Malt Whisky

He became a symbol of the national reawakening of Wales, and created more headlines than any other 20th century statesman.

This 70cl bottle has an abv of 46%, and is matured in Jamaican Rum & Ruby Port Casks.

Tasting Notes

Nose:

Red berries, strawberries and cream; a hint of cranberries, light oak and vanilla. Nutmeg and cinnamon spice.

Palate:

Rich sweet flavours of dried fruits, salted caramel, floral honey and a spicy kick of black pepper with a tannin dryness.

Finish:

Sweetness, fading into a dry-yet-fruity finish.
