Penderyn Patagonia, Icons of Wales – Release No.11/50 (bottled 2023), 43%

Penderyn Patagonia is the 11th in the Icons of Wales Edition whiskies. This is the first ever blended malt whisky, produced by marrying Penderyn single malt with that of La Alazana Distillery in Patagonia. It is bottled at 43% abv.

On the 28th July 1865, 153 people embarked on the Mimosa, sailing for Patagonia to establish a Welsh colony and preserve their language and culture. Times were difficult, but today Patagonia has 50,000 Welsh descendants, 5000 Welsh speakers and holds annual Eisteddfodau. ‘Little Wales beyond Wales…’

Tasting notes on Penderyn Patagonia
Nose: Sweet, floral and perfumed. Orchard fruits – green apples and sweet pears – vanilla, a light aroma of honey and caramel.
Palate: Nicely balanced. Sweet honey, apple tart and juicy pears with vanilla and light oaky notes. A mix of spices: cinnamon, peppers and a hint of cloves, together with almonds and creamy toffee.
Finish: Dried fruits lingering with sweet spice at the end.
