Penderyn, Wales
Distillery
Our Penderyn bottling has been matured in an ex-Moscatel cask. The sweet dessert wine is produced in a similar way to PX sherry but, uses a high proportion of Moscatel de Alejandria grapes
Located in the village of Penderyn, on the southern tip of the Brecon Beacons, this distillery marked the first commercially available whisky in Wales since the 19th century.
Dr Jim Swan was one of the founders and their Master Blender. He was instrumental in developing their house style of Madeira finishing. They use a one of a kind pot still designed by Dr David Faraday, a relative of inventor Michael Faraday.
About the Label
Our label simply shows a recreation of their Penderyn’s unique still set up. The artist’s hand is holding a beautiful red pencil with the texture of dragon scales, symbolising the red dragon on the Welsh flag. Notice the signet ring with a swan on it? It’s a nod to both their Welsh Gold logo, and the late Dr. Jim Swan who was consulted on the original setup of the distillery.
Nose
Ethereal light & floral nose with delicate peach, jasmine & vanilla
Palate
Sweet floral notes, peach melba & vanilla with a tinge of blackcurrant leaf.
