Penderyn Legend Single Malt Welsh Whisky (750 ml)
Description
Since selling their first product in 2004, the Penderyn Distillery has remained the most prominent distillery in the region. Their still is a custom-built copper pot that can reach a staggering 92% ABV on the first run; hence, why Penderyn is one of the few single distilled whiskies from the UK. This non-chill-filtered single malt is primarily aged in ex-bourbon casks and then finished in ex-Madeira wine casks. Along with the Celt and Myth, the Legend is part of the brand's "Welsh Dragon" range of 41% ABV expressions (versus their signature 46%).
Legend is a Madeira-finish single malt whisky, bottled at 41% abv, and 43% in the USA
Tasting Notes
Nose: Aromas of fresh apples and citrus fruits intermingle with cream fudge and sultana raisins to create a complex yet fresh, clean and well-balanced whisky
Palate: Incredibly smooth and both fresh and rich dried fruits abound. Delicate and sweet on the palate with just a hint of bitterness to remain refreshing
Finish: A long aftertaste of Madeira cake and sultanas
