Penderyn’s Legend bottling isn’t a brand new whisky, and this expression, which celebrates the tenth anniversary of Girls Who Whiskey, doesn’t shift its focus perceptibly, ageing initially in ex-bourbon casks and ending in Madeira barriques. Why choose this whisky for a wWw collaboration? Simple: Penderyn‘s distilling and mixing workforce in Wales is fully feminine. 3000 bottles can be found within the U.S.
Let’s give it a whirl.
I don’t know if that is an identical in make-up to the whisky we reviewed in 2018, however I do prefer it extra, not less than primarily based on my notes. The nostril is grainy and toasty with notes of shaved oak and hemp rope, plus a contact of previous, barely oxidized wine that hints at a camphor word. It’s not clearly Madeira, but it surely’s on the spectrum not less than. Extra aggressively wine-doused on the palate, notes of coconut meat, lemon curd, and almond nougat all interaction nicely collectively, resulting in a end that’s reasonably grassy and touched with oak. The vaguest trace of Madeira lingers — which appears nearly proper to me.
86 proof.
