Fifteen years is not a particularly common age for Penderyn, which opened in 2000. The second advantage is that this whisky has been matured in a single Bourbon cask, allowing the distillery’s character to fully develop. Only 102 bottles were drawn from the cask and included in the Collection Itinéraires, launched by La Maison du Whisky on the occasion of Whisky Live Paris 2025, for sale primarily in France.
Let's Taste It :
Honey dripping from your fingers and ripe fruit, mirabelle plums, Reine-Claude plums, quince jam, Conference pears, yellow apples. Candle wax and rich floral notes, lacquered wood, creamy vanilla and a zest of lemon. On the palate, the fruit is even more pronounced, baked apples, Belle Hélène pear drizzled with chocolate, plum clafoutis, crumble sprinkled with cinnamon, black pepper. A long, explosive finish where the oak comes to the fore, liquorice, dried vanilla, fruit paste, shortbread biscuits, a warm chestnuts.
In Short,
It’s just the right age, here we have a riot of fruit, with notes of wax and elegant wood, generous honey – everything needed to make a fine whisky. The 10-year-old was still a little shy, more mineral, this one is perfectly mature. The price remains high, however, but with such a rare product, that’s hardly surprising.
