Penderyn, Portwood

46.0% | 70.0cl

Penderyn Distillery’s history can be traced back to the early 19th century, when a group of visionary friends embarked on a journey to revive the lost art of whisky distillation in Wales. Inspired by their predecessors, they established the Penderyn Distillery, in the picturesque Brecon Beacons National Park. Drawing upon their rich heritage and the abundance of natural resources in the region, the distillery soon gained a reputation for crafting exceptional Welsh whiskies with an unmatched character and distinct sense of place.

Penderyn Portwood Whisky is a true testament to Penderyn Distillery’s expertise and dedication. This extraordinary single malt is carefully made using a unique combination of techniques, resulting in a remarkable flavour profile that sets it apart from other whiskies. Beginning with a selection of the finest Welsh malted barley, the whisky is distilled in a single copper pot still, a distinctive feature of Penderyn’s distillation process.

It is then matured in a variety of ex-bourbon and ex-red wine casks before being finished in the finest Portwood casks, imparting a luscious depth of flavour and a velvety smoothness.

Tasting Note

Delicate red berries and dark chocolate on the nose, entwined with hints of vanilla and honey. Ripe plums, blackcurrants and rich toffee on the palate, with warming spice and a whisper of oak — the Portwood influence adding a distinctive, fruit-rich quality throughout. Long and satisfying.
