Single malt from Wales
Partly to celebrate St David’s Day today – but mostly because it was long overdue, Clutch and I decided to try the samples of Penderyn that the Welsh Whisky company had kindly sent us.
Nose:
Custard, vanilla, tangerine, honey-roasted peanuts, tiny touch of smoke.
Palate:
Flumps. Seriously: Flumps. Also, condensed milk, cream toffee… Penderyn is a dessert whisky.
Finish:
Very smooth, rounded, unassuming, a little astringent.
Verdict:
Quite quaffable, very enjoyable. A lovely dram that would welcome newcomers to the world of malts… and a lovely way to finish off St David’s Day.

I can’t help noticing the Apple behind the whisky.
Is this some new venture Mr Jobs is exploring?
Or does a combination of Apple and the consumption of whisky explain their current travalis with the iPhone4…??!
