We were delighted to hear that our US-exclusive Penderyn Portwood Single Cask Whisky (No. PT113) 60.4% ABV was featured in the list in the prestigious Whisky Advocate magazine, and achieved a score of 93/100. This is a US bottling only and limited to 251 bottles.
This is a big
win for both Penderyn and for ImpEx Bev, our US importers, and follows on from
Penderyn Celt making the list of Whisky Advocates Top 20 Best Whiskies in 2018. Furthermore,
the magazine gave great reviews to our Gold Range Portwood, Peated and Rich Oak
whiskies in 2019.

Tasting
Notes by Whisky Advocate’s Jonny McCormick
Nose: Rosy red apples, damson jam, quince jelly, piquant spices, pomegranate juice, and cracked black pepper.
Palate: This dutifully follows suit with cherry, red apple, cranberry, blackberry, and raspberry until overwhelmed by high-strength alcohol, bristling with clove, pepper, and ginger spices.
Finish: A vanilla-cupcake sweetness is enhanced by cooked apple, while water conjures up a delicious watermelon note, with a finish of overbaked deep-dish apple pie.[iframe](about:blank)
