Penderyn Copperopolis (Icons of Wales)
The 12th instalment in Penderyn's Icons of Wales series celebrates the copper-coated history of Swansea! It's reported that from 1720, 50% of the world's copper and 90% of the UK's copper was smelted in the area, and thus it became known as 'Copperopolis'. This Welsh single malt was treated to a finish in sweet red wine casks for a rich, fruity profile, supported by balanced oak and spice. Penderyn opened its third Welsh distillery in Swansea in 2023, housed in the powerhouse of the old copperworks building, which makes this release very fitting indeed.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Marmalade, floral notes of citrus blossom, fresh peaches, drizzled with honey. Delicate spice and oaken vanilla join in time.
Palate
Silky sweet layers of runny honey, plump raisins, and figs, with gentle woody spice cushioned by luscious caramel.
Finish
Zesty notes of candied orange, jammy cherries dipped in dark chocolate, drying oak, a touch of ginger warmth.
