Penderyn Legend Single Malt Welsh Whisky 750ml

The Penderyn Legend Single Malt Welsh Whisky is part of Penderyn’s Dragon line which features whiskies similar to their Gold line but lighter in price, style, and ABV. The Legend is a Madeira-finished malt and is approximately six years old, matured first in ex-Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels then six to twelve months in the finishing casks. As is the case with All Penderyns, the Legend is not chill-filtered and uses no artificial coloring.

While this remains a lighter whisky, there’s more happening on the palate. More honey, more golden raisins, warm applesauce, and subtler dried fruits. Sugared nuts, baker’s chocolate, and frosted oat flakes. The oak is stronger here, too. Edgy boards, nicely tannic with vanilla bean, candied ginger, and allspice berries.

ABV: 43%
