Gwalia Distillery Penderyn
Penderyn Rich Oak Matured, Single Cask 59.8%
Cask D161
Tasted: July 2017
Aromas of fresh, green apple, apricot, lemon, pineapple and barley. The oak is initially fairly subtle with sweet vanilla and grippy tannins, although it definitely lives up to its name as with time the oak becomes richer and very toffee’d/ buttery. However some column still spice and the alcohol balances.
The palate opens with barley, fleshy apple, apricot and hints of straw. The oak is very rich and spicy (nutmeg and cinnamon) but there's a balancing tart lemon note which keeps the oak in check. It definitely needs some water as the alcohol masks the finish completely.
Diluted the nose is oilier and less oaky, but a touch simpler with the emphasis on the lemon notes. The palate is also oilier and initially it shows plenty of fudgy oak. However with the alcohol tamed it now shows a good depth of fleshy apricot, unsweetened pineapple, honey and a touch of crisp, green apple at the edges. Very herbal finish, almost cat pee Sauvignon blanc-esque, along with the freshly saw oak returning with a subtle bitterness.
