Penderyn Peated Single Malt offers a beautifully subtle and approachable take on peated whisky, crafted at Wales’ award-winning Penderyn Distillery. Unlike traditional heavily peated Scotch styles, this expression showcases Penderyn’s elegant and light house style, layered with a gentle smokiness imparted through cask finishing rather than direct peat in the malt. The result is a perfectly balanced single malt — bright, fruity, and softly smoky — ideal for both seasoned peat lovers and those new to peated whiskies.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Pale gold with bright clarity.
Nose: Fresh and inviting, with delicate smoke interwoven with crisp green apple, citrus peel, vanilla, and light floral notes.
Palate: Light, smooth, and layered. Hints of soft smoke accompany flavours of sweet malt, orchard fruits, vanilla cream, and a touch of sea salt. The peat influence is elegant and restrained, allowing the distillery’s signature fruit-forward style to shine through.
Finish: Lingering and gentle, with wafts of clean smoke, citrus zest, and soft oak spice.
Serving Suggestions: Enjoy neat to savour its subtle interplay of fruit and smoke, or with a splash of water to open up more citrus and floral nuances. Excellent as an introduction to peated whisky or as a refreshing alternative to heavier Islay styles. Also pairs well with charcuterie, aged cheeses, or smoked seafood.
