Penderyn Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 Feb,09 in Tasting , Penderyn

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.
