Penderyn Legend

A complex, Welsh Single Malt Whisky by the Penderyn Distillery in Wales, United Kingdom made using a pot still created by Dr. David Faraday. Penderyn Legend is the younger sister to the core Penderyn Madeira Single Malt. It comes off the same still & is aged the same way — first in Bourbon barrels, then finished in Madeira Wine casks. The difference is that the Legend is a bit younger & is bottled at 41% ABV. It has an aromatic birth with notes of while a rich life adds notes of pepper, ginger, malt, tangerine, crème brûlée & fresh biscuits; that leads to a spicy & roasted death with a hint of spice cake & rye. There be Dragons! January 2020 / July 2022

Would never have guessed this was only distilled once. Fuyu persimmons, vanilla custard, oak spice, biscuits, vegetative, candied lime peels, butterscotch, peppermint, some astringency, nutmeg, raw mash, cocoa nibs, cinnamon, red grape, smoky, red plum, deep sweetness. Unfortunate grain bitterness holds it back. Saturated with madeira oak. Impressive single malt from outside japan & scotland.

Nose: a musty, sweet, metallic, candied peach, green apple starburst. Palate: soft peach
