Penderyn Peated 46%
Tasting Note
Vatting of Bourbon and ex-peated Scotch Whisky casks.
Btl: Feb 2012
Tasted: Sept 2012
The nose opens with a plethora of sweet, briny peat followed by crisp green apple, citrus and vanilla. The nose displays a lot more peat character than the last time I tasted it and is distinctly Islay in tone. I would hazard a guess that some ex-Laphroaig casks were used as there are some medicinal and tar notes.
The palate is soft, gentle and quite youthful, opening with honey, lightly baked apple, crisp green apple and vanilla. There is more of the rose petal spirit character on the palate and the peat is subtler an more earthy in character. Very long with some sweet smoke coming through along with a touch of brine and light spice. Lovely after taste – lightly oiled creosote. Wonderfully fresh and very enjoyable.
