Penderyn Celt

Appearance- lightly colored and thin. Nose of pear, lavender and acetone. Sweet and herbal. The taste is of apple pie; baking spaces and fruits are evident. There is not much wood of the barrel except for a slight complexity with a hint of leather and tobacco on the finish. It’s not a particularly complex spirit but it is soft and well-rounded. Honestly, I think it’s rating here is much harsher than its bite.

Warm, spicy, slighty peaty and smoky

Very fruity and vanilla nose, stays forward on palette mild peatness

Nose - Fruity peat smoke dominates, toasted brioche in the background, very clean simple/corn syrup sweet Taste - Very clean initially, then this medicinal, iodine-like smoke appears, similar to an apple juice mixed with campfire ash Finish - Lingering smoke, fruity ash, corn syrup/splenda sweet Score - 50/100 Final Thoughts - I'm not a huge fan of peated whiskies and this is no exception. It's not quite as strong of a medicinal peat as Laphroaig, but it's close. The smoke dominates and any green apple I got from their unpeated expressions is gone, replaced by this splenda-like sweetness. Would I drink it if offered? - No Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - No

Peat doesn't quite work with such a light expression

★★★½ On finit la soirée en beauté! Comme dernier whisky de cette magnifique soirée, on nous sert un autre produit vieilli dans des fûts de scotch des Islay. Encore une fois, j'ai préféré la première version de ce whisky tourbé. On est ici, encore une fois, dans une délicatesse, une finesse, une subtilité... Merci encore pour cette belle soirée!
