Penderyn Myth

Delicate, Juicy, Oak, Vanilla
2024-04-02

The Welsh Penderyn whisky called Myth from the Dragon series was matured in ex-Buffalo Trace casks and finished in ex-red wine casks. Seems very promising.

Smell

Notes of chewing gum, grape and sugar dance harmoniously together, followed by a hint of molasses and light hay. A light floral note hovers over everything, while a gentle creamy note and light stone fruits round off the olfactory experience.

Taste

The first sip reveals a remarkable combination of grassy and hay-like flavours accompanied by floral notes. The texture is creamy and creamy, with a hint of sweetness and a delicate pear flavour that caresses the palate.

Finish

The finish of the Penderyn Myth is short and surprisingly characterised by an enormous bitterness from the oak. A slight dryness remains on the palate, while the finish is perceived as somewhat unexciting overall.

Thoughts

The Penderyn Myth presents itself as a soft and round single malt that surprises with unexpected nuances. Despite its straightforwardness, it offers an interesting palette of flavours, which is somewhat dampened by a slightly bitter finish.

Rating: 71/100 - Very Good (Marcel: 71 | Sascha: 71)
