Penderyn USA Exclusive (Batch 1), 50%

Price: $110 Issue: Fall 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick


This is a big ride, with incoming flavors from the four different types of casks used: bourbon; shaved, toasted, and re-charred; ruby port; and carcavelos wine. On the nose, there's pear, vanilla, cream, honey sweetness, shortbread, barley, lemon, and a generous sprinkle of peppery spice. Lap it up at full strength with flavors of sweet vanilla, apricot, citrus peel, and raspberry, followed by a peak of peppery spice, then fruit jelly beans and gingersnaps. (1,210 bottles)
