Penderyn Celt is a 41% ABV single malt whisky from the renowned Welsh distillery, Penderyn. The distillery began its production in 2000 and has since been recognized for its skillful blend of tradition and modernity in their whiskies. Penderyn Celt exemplifies this harmonious balance, being aged in ex-Bourbon casks before receiving a finishing touch in ex-peated Scotch whisky casks. This unique process imparts a subtle smoky flavor to the whisky, symbolized by the emblem of Wales, the red dragon, proudly displayed on the bottle.
The whisky boasts a pale gold color, indicative of its youth, as it does not carry an age statement. It presents a light smoke aroma and a fresh, sweet, and smoky taste profile. Bottled in a sleek flask-shaped bottle adorned with a striking dragon logo, Penderyn Celt is part of the Dragon range, celebrated for its distinctive cask finishes. The Celt edition, in particular, is finished in quarter casks, which are significantly smaller than standard barrels, resulting in a more intense interaction between the wood and the whisky. These casks previously held peated Scotch whisky, enhancing Penderyn Celt's delicate smoky flavor.
The whisky reveals a fruity and slightly smoky aroma, with a palate dominated by vanilla and orange zest, complemented by hints of coastal and earthy notes. Its nuanced smoky flavor has quickly garnered acclaim, winning gold medals in the Whisky Bible in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Penderyn Celt is a testament to the revival of Welsh whisky, which had been absent since the 19th century. Thanks to Penderyn Distillery's dedication, Welsh whisky has made a triumphant return, with Penderyn Celt standing as a shining example of their efforts.
