Penderyn Celt 70cl 40°
A Welsh single malt with a delicate smoky touch!
Crafted in the renowned Penderyn Distillery, nestled in the heart of Wales, Penderyn Celt offers a unique profile. Initially aged in bourbon casks, it is then finished in casks that previously held peated whisky, lending it a subtle, refined smokiness.
The nose is a delightful mix of ripe fruits, honey, and a soft peaty breeze. The palate is smooth and oily, revealing flavors of vanilla, citrus, and malted cereals, with a gentle smoke adding depth. The finish is elegant, slightly peppery, with lingering notes of caramel and toasted wood.
Bottled at 40% ABV, this single malt is an ideal gateway into lightly peated whiskies, perfect for those looking to explore this style in a smooth and approachable way.

Established in 2000, Penderyn is the first Welsh distillery to resume whiskey production, as the last one closed its doors in 1903. Whisky produced in Whales is called Welsh whisky.
Produced in the village of the same name, located near Brecon Beacons National Park, Penderyn Single Malt has been richly matured and is available with various finishes. The whisky is mainly in Evan Williams bourbon casks, a nod to the Welsh distillers who founded the American distillery. Then, the whisky is either finished in Madeira wine casks, imparting toffee and honey flavours, Port wine casks, for the red fruit aromas, Sherry casks or ex-Islay malt casks for their peaty taste…
Distilled in Faraday stills, a three-storey copper still with long column connected to a higher column by a pipe system, the Penderyn distillate is collected at 92%. A couple of traditional Pot Stills has also been installed in the distillery in 2014.
For Giancarlo Bianchi, the distillery’s technical director, “a non-age whisky distilled in unique stills in Whales, a craft production involving everything up to the 150.00 hand labelled bottles: this is Welsh whisky.”
At twelve years of age, the most classical of Highland Park whiskies shows great complexity and richness.
