Penderyn Madeira Finish Whisky 70cl

Having tasted some of the Penderyn new make spirit in the past I of course recognise this whisky shares some of the same qualities so it must be fairly young. On the flip side, I don't find it rough like some reviewers, it comes across as apricot bomb. There seems to other orchard fruits in the background and maybe the faintest hint of the sweeter toffee/honey notes but nothing obvious. If you like those fruit notes, it might be a good one to check out.

Loved the fruity notes of whiskey

1st Welsh of my 5 bottles so far. It's so smooth it could be chugged. To me the flavour is vanilla with oaky soap. Can't tell if it's sharp florals or young distillery but I enjoy it so much and really appreciate the smoothness. It's pronounced when you know it's with water from the Brecon's. Madeira has Europe's largest tarantula, it's palm sized.

Did the tour today. Great trip made all the better by our guide Helen. Knowledgeable, lovely welsh accent ( I’m a Geordie!) and brimming with enthusiasm.
Loved it

Visited the Llandudno distillery today, good tour with included tastings at the end. Portwood was good smooth malt but the Madeurq finish original one was harsh, definitely not smooth and not recommended. I'd give it 2 stars, Portwood gets 4 stars. Probably needs maturing for a few more years.

Fantastic. Really good flavours. Smooth, warm and such a delight to sip

Gorgeous. Such a beautiful warm, smooth, full, fruity (peach?) flavour with noticeable madeira overtones. Definitely one of the best whiskies I've tasted.

Bloody marvellous!! I’m not an expert on Single Malts as I’m more of a bourbon drinker but this is lovely. Forget the tasting notes cos they mean absolutely nothing. This is a very nice whiskey, sit back, plop in an ice cube and enjoy it. Maybe with a nice Montecristo.

A young piercing but delicately sweet whisky with a distinctive and very unique tasting profile. Vanilla, custard, digestives, and hints of butterscotch. I go back to this time and time again as it is different from your typical scotch single malt and acts as a kind of palette refresh. The Faraday stills used in the production, in my opinion, make this a very unique experience. Naturally presented, no colourant, and very light if any filtering. Labelled as non-chill filtered. Superb whisky for the money.

Tastes a little young, but has a pleasant interesting flavour; tasting notes always seem weird to me... it tastes like whisky!

At 46ABV, a little water brings out the flavour and softens the alcohol-hit. Overall, it's a good but not outstanding product.
