Penderyn First Release Single Malt Welsh Whisky 4 Year Old · 2000 Vintage

Colour

Bright golden amber with warm honey-copper highlights.

Nose

Rich vanilla and toasted American oak dominate the nose, baring a honeyed fruit and citrus zest. Juicy pear and green apple mingle with caramel and warm spice, while a subtle waxy, resinous nuance hints at the cask-strength, unfiltered charm of this First Release.

Palate

Full-bodied and luxurious, this cask-strength whisky coats the palate with molten vanilla and caramel, opening to rich toffee and dried fruit. Spiced with black pepper and gentle clove, it carries a lift of bright citrus peel, balanced by warm oak and a touch of cocoa. A long, lingering warmth fades to elegant sweetness.

Finish

Long, warming finish dominated by bold American oak, with vanilla, toffee and a touch of spice. A creamy sweetness lingers, slowly giving way to a dry, oaken warmth.
