2015 BB&R Penderyn Cask Ref. W20 Single Malt Whisky Wales (59.9%)

Intense oak and spice on the nose is matched by lush fruit and an appealingly rich hue. The fruit undoubtedly brought forth by maturation in a cask that had previously been used to produce deliciously sweet Moscatel de Setúbal on the eponymous Portuguese peninsula. Notes of candied peel, toasted spice and apricot jam flesh out the palate. Enjoy this with a game of cards on a balmy evening, ideally in the wonderful Welsh valleys. As our friends at Penderyn might say - Iechyd da!
