IMG_3633Penderyn Madeira 41 Single Malt Welsh Whisky. Penderyn, Wales, United Kingdom. ABV: 41.00%. Tasted at Helvetica, $19.

Colour: Ambery gold.

Nose: Earthy, hay-like; nose drying.

Palate: A bit grassy on the tongue too. Crisp entry, it’s direct – none of this slowly enveloping the palate with syrupy sweetness kind of caper.

Finish: Quite short and thin, somewhat sweet lemon notes to fade.

Comments: My second Penderyn of the year. The first wasn’t overly memorable, this one fares a little better but still I’m not about to go and pick up a bottle of it next time I’m at the bottlo. Why why why Delilah? Because it’s a little disappointing to be honest.

IMG_2663Penderyn Peated Single Malt Welsh Whisky. Penderyn, Wales. ABV: 46.00%. Tasted at my mate Joel’s place, $79.35 (bottle).

Colour: Very pale straw. One of the palest drams I’ve had.

Nose: Grassy notes, medicinal scents, a hint of smoke.

Palate: Clean entry, soft peat kicks in & builds a moment after you take a sip.

Finish: Quite short, not a heavy smokey aftertaste. Slight sweet taste when you lick your lips afterwards.

Comments: I have to disagree with another Welsh export, Tom Jones – it IS a little unusual. Particularly the nose. Quite pleasant though, not sure that I’d race out to buy another bottle again, but would be happy to have another dram or two.
