Nine years ago I had my first taste of Penderyn whiskey and have to say it was not something I cared for or wanted to try again until I heard about this cask strength Madeira finish.
This is a fruity whiskey. I’m not sure this is for everyone but definitely interesting. The first smell is pure guava fruit with vanilla almond cookies. I’d even say this reminds me of the taste of Swedish fish candy. Then you revisit and get dried kiwi, cotton candy, raspberry jam. The tastes follow the same as the nose with explosion of all the flavors and a medium finish. If you’re looking for a fruity treat, this whiskey is for you.
Glad Penderyn has improved over the years and glad I tried this one.

@ContemplativeFox Ha I was lucky to get 2 of the 243 produced. Looks like they increased prices since their 13 year cost 160 this year.
Dang, I would snatch this right up if I could find it for $100.
@pkingmartin Quite right and thank you. Missed the Cask Strength qualifier in the title. The 46% ABV retails for the equivalent of US$55
@CKarmios This is their single cask 10 year Cask # 047-3 that only had 243 bottles released. Retail is supposed to be around 100. I haven’t tried their normal Madeira finish yet to compare. Hope you can find it for lower than me and enjoy the fruit bomb.
Hadn’t thought of Welsh whisky before but your profile notes have tickled my metaphorical taste buds. I’ll give this one a try. By the way you’re being murdered on the price
