This post continue from TWE Whisky Show [Part 3]

The Whisky Exchange Whisky Show 2012 took place at October 6th and 7th and although it has been a great experience it has been a short one. With over 450 whiskies to taste and just barely six hours ahead it was impossible to taste them all.

Penderyn Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Penderyn
83
Penderyn Aur Cymru
Penderyn is Wales' only single malt whisky, produced at a rate of just one cask per day at one of the smallest distilleries in the world. Aur Cymru, translating to "Welsh Gold," is an apt name for this small-production spirit. After distillation, this whisky is first aged in American oak Bourbon barrels, and then finished in Madeira casks to impart a generous flavor and subtle complexity. Penderyn is smooth and luscious, with enticing flavors of cream toffee and fresh leather, finishing with notes of tropical fruit, raisin and vanilla.

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (88): inexistent. sweet, many fruity: mango, melon, oranges. it is like a macedonia. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Palate (84): . wood, fruits: pineapple, peach, cocoa and oranges. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (76): no finish. oranges, vanilla and pineapple. Finish length is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Penderyn Aur Cymru with 83 points over 100.
