Penderyn Ex-Tawny Port Single Cask PT266

This superb whisky has a beautiful rose hue and was matured in a ex-Tawny Port Single Cask, number PT266. There are only 18 bottles available making this extremely collectable. This cask is part of a small batch of large tawny port pipes which we managed to source from Porto. The barrel is extremely old, and it may have held port for decades before reaching us. 

This beautiful rose-tinted Penderyn was matured in ex-Tawny Port cask #PT266 yielding 724 bottles at cask strength (60.5% abv).  They represent part of a small consignment of large Portuguese port pipes sourced by Penderyn, but this particular barrel was extremely old, probably having held wine for decades before reaching the distillery, and it reads like an alpha barrel. Jim Murray has ranked it as one of the best Penderyns to date in his 2022 Bible. This kind of wine input typically infuses aromas and flavours of black grapes, fresh plums, figs and red berries. They’ll be set against drier, nutty oak and peppery spices. Very limited stocks. Non chill filtered.
