Penderyn Serpent's Tears Welsh Single Malt Whisky
In stock
Serpent’s Tears from Penderyn’s Llandudno distillery in North Wales marks a bold new chapter for the Welsh distiller. This peated single malt delivers a distinctive blend of smoky and fruity notes, capturing the essence and character of the region.
“From the Viking Longships, the brooding North Wales headland emerging from the fog and mist resembled a terrible and fearsome beast. The Great Orme, derived from the Old Norse meaning ‘Great Serpent’ had survived volcanic eruptions, dinosaurs, and the Ice Age, so no wonder it created dread in the minds of these sea-farers, many of who foundered in the tears of the Serpent. Nestling in the shadow of The Great Orme, Penderyn Llandudno Lloyd Street distillery has crafted and matured this lightly peated whisky, reminding us of the adventurous spirit of past explorers and the natural beauty of our home.”.

Tasting Notes
Nose
An autumnal day in a glass; dried leaves, orchard fruits and wood smoke are shadowed by creamy notes and toasted bread.
Palate
Sweet peat, soft vanilla cream and sugared pancake with burnt edges. Baking apples with the hint of malt and a touch of peppery spice and clove.
Finish
Warming soft peat that lingers in the mouth with a barley sweetness.
