Description

Penderyn Independence Icons Of Wales No 2:

Penderyn Independence is a single malt Welsh whisky and a specific release from the Penderyn Distillery. It’s part of their “Icons of Wales” series, which celebrates historical figures and events with Welsh connections.

Here’s a detailed look at what makes it stand out:

Brand: Penderyn

Part of a Series:Penderyn Independence is the second bottling in the “Icons of Wales” series. It was released to commemorate the signing of the American Declaration of Independence in 1776, highlighting the fact that Thomas Jefferson and 15 of the other signatories had Welsh roots.

Penderyn Dylan Thomas Icons Of Wales No 3:

Penderyn Dylan Thomas is the third installment in the “Icons of Wales” series from the Penderyn Distillery. Released in 2014, it was created to commemorate the centenary of the birth of the legendary Welsh poet and writer Dylan Thomas (1914–1953).

The expression is a “Sherrywood” finish, designed to be a lighter, more delicate dram than a typical “sherry bomb.”

Penderyn That Try Icons Of Wales No 4:

Penderyn That Try is a single malt Welsh whisky and the fourth release in the distillery’s “Icons of Wales” series. It is a highly sought-after bottling with a unique character and a specific historical inspiration.

Penderyn Bryn Terfel Icons Of Wales No 5:

Penderyn Icons of Wales No. 5, Bryn Terfel, was released on November 29, 2016.

This edition is perhaps the most visually striking in the entire series, trading the traditional glass look for a theatrical, tactile design.

The Story: Sir Bryn Terfel & Falstaff

The expression celebrates the world-renowned Welsh bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel CBE.

• The Role: Specifically, the whisky honors Terfel’s legendary portrayal of Sir John Falstaff in Verdi’s comic opera, Falstaff.
• The Character: Falstaff is a Shakespearean character known for being “well-rounded, spicy, and sumptuous”—traits that Penderyn’s master blenders explicitly tried to replicate in the liquid’s profile.
• The Design: To reflect the “theatrical” nature of the opera, the bottle is famously encased in a red velvet (flocked) wrap with a gold plaque, mimicking the heavy stage curtains of a grand opera house.
