🥃 Penderyn Peated
Smoky single malt Penderyn whisky from the Gold series; the peaty character comes from the cask finish; 46% vol.
Penderyn Peated is a smoky single malt whisky from the Welsh brand Penderyn, from the Gold series. The producer stresses that it is a whisky with a peated finish, not a classic heavily peated whisky in the style of the island malts. The strength is 46% vol.; the age is not stated, as with the other versions of the series.
The spirit is distilled in a Faraday-type still. The producer writes about a finish in bourbon casks; independent reviews specify that some casks previously held Scotch whisky, including from Islay, and those casks give the smoke. According to available data, the cask mix may have changed over the years, so the label of a given batch matters more than old reviews.
Why this matters to you. This is the smokiest version of the Gold series: a light smoky aroma combined with vanilla, green apple and citrus. If peaty whisky is new to you, Peated is softer than island Scotches; if you do not want smoke, choose Penderyn Madeira Finish. WHO reminds: there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
