Let's Taste It :
Right from the first nose, it surprises with its robustness, but also with the variety of its fruits. Peaches, melons, pineapple, ripe pears, coniferous forest, heather earth. On the palate, as fruity as ever, but more exotic, mango, guava, passion fruit, but also a bit herbaceous, tall herbs, candied angelica, rhubarb. Explosive spices, cloves, cumin. Intense and powerful finish. Coal, black bread, hot chestnuts, rich, damp earth, humus. A touch of limestone.
In Short,
Another astonishing and delightful expression from the Welsh distillery, a flood of fruits and conifers. Quite different from the other Penderyns I've tasted, but you can expect anything from SMWS. Now unobtainable, I'm afraid we'll have to make do with a future bottling.
