No prizes for guessing where the peated Islay quarter casks used for finishing came from, but this beautiful whisky has firm, sooty charcoal smoke, impressive maritime characteristics, and aromas of fresh lemon, mandarin, and buttered toast. Sweet citrus with a buttery mouthfeel, and generous smoke and spice. Beautifully weighted, it ends with darker fruits, chocolate, and spicy smoke on the finish. Love it! (JM, fall 2018)
Ah, the circle of life! Distilling in Wales goes back 250 years and Welsh distillers were the "Founding Fathers" of the American Bourbon industry! So, it is wonderful to see distilling happening again in Wales. Like WELSH GOLD (Aur Cymru) Penderyn Single Malt Welsh Whisky is a rare and precious commodity. This golden malt whisky signals the welcome return of whisky distillation to Wales after an absence of over 100 years. The Celt is a special bottling that is finished in quarter casks from a heavy peated whiskey on Islay. The malt itself is unpeated. The finished whiskey has a gentle perfume of smoke but a flavor that showcases the earthy tones of peat. Scortched grass and the saline character of fine Islay malts.
