Penderyn Madeira Finish

Penderyn Madeira Finish is a single malt Welsh whisky that has been finished in Madeira wine casks. The Penderyn distillery is located in the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales, and the whisky is named after the nearby village of Penderyn.

The Penderyn Madeira Finish has a light golden colour and a nose of citrus, honey, and oak. The flavour is sweet and fruity, with notes of orange, lemon, and honey. The finish is long and lingering, with a touch of spice.

Penderyn Madeira Finish is at the heart of the Penderyn range. A beautifully packaged Welsh whisky.

Reviews for Penderyn Madeira Finish
Apricot Bomb
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.

The cleaner you are..
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.

Visit Pendryn distillery 28 dec 23
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

Probably too young for a Malt
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.

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

We’ll worth giving time to.
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 delicately sweet and unique whisky at a superb price
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.

Very good, but not great
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.
