Penderyn Icon Of Wales Hiraeth Single Malt
Product description
The 8th in Penderyn's ‘Icons of Wales' series was launched in December 2021 and commemorates the wonderful Welsh word, 'Hiraeth.’ Difficult to translate into English, some say 'yearning' or 'homesickness.' Still, the BBC's Roy Noble summed it up nicely: "a longing for your homeland, your heritage and your very being." This whisky is an ex-Bourbon cask finish bottled at 46% abv. It is the first time Penderyn has released a core range single malt using mainly spirit from the pot stills, which they introduced in 2014.
Nose... Elegant and floral with light oak notes, vanilla, raisins, toffee apples, citrus peel and a hint of lime.
Palate... A delicate, smooth single malt with honeyed fruits, vanilla, cinnamon spice and a hint of nutmeg.
Finish... Soft honey and vanilla notes fade to a malty finish.
