Penderyn Sherrywood 46%
Tasting Note
Vatting of Bourbon and dry Oloroso casks.
Btl: Feb 2012
Tasted: Sept 2012
The nose is quite floral with a touch of perfumed violets and plenty of rose petal along with delicate dried fruit, subtle leafy Oloroso and honey. Showing some maturity with a lovely depth and just a subtle sherry character. With time some sweet orange and praline notes become apparent.
Soft an gentle on the palate, opening with some creamy barley and honey, followed by some rose petal notes on the middle and finally gentle dried fruit, liquorice, dark chocolate and toffee. The rose petal spirit character returns on the finish along with plenty of biting spices. I have to say that this has improved tremendously as there is a lot less of the boiled sweet/ confected sherry character of previous bottlings.
