Tastes

tastes like angelical pussy. I have got three bottles. Cheers.

I purchased my first bottle of Penderyn tonight after taking my daughter to the pumpkin patch and lightshow. I frankly did not know what to expect. I usually read thoroughly about a whisky before buying but didnt get a chance this time around. I have to say that I am very pleased with this whisky. The nose hits you softly but with character. It mimics that perfume of the girl you ran into at the elevator and as she walks away her sweet, fruity and delicate scent lingers behind and leaves you wondering. The palate is quite special. It took me some thinking to pin dowm what fruit it was that I was sensing. After mulling it over I came to the conclusion that it is maracuya (passion fruit). It is a fruit from the amazon that grows in south america. Total nostalgia. It had been more than a decade since I tasted that flavor. I wish the finish was a little longer but you cant beat the quality of this whisky for the price.

4 stars because this is simply a well rounded scotch. I wont go into the details of nose, palate and finish as many others have extensively done so. It deserves 4 stars because this sctoch is well balanced, smooth, decently complex, and reasonably priced. It is my daily scotch and probably will remain so unless I become ultra wealthy and can drink the 18 year daily.

heavily peated and smokey. Hints of bacon. Medium finish with some burning. I want to like it but peated are just not me. Maybe in a few years.

Sweet on the nose. Hints of chocolate and apple come to mind. Palate is sweet, smooth, medimium viscosity as well as complexity. Medium finish with warm tones of toffee and sherry. There is a slight burn to it which goes away after a few sips.
