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:

Part of a Series: 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.

Distillery and Process: Penderyn Distillery, located in the Brecon Beacons National Park, is a key player in the resurgence of Welsh whisky. They use a unique single copper-pot still called a “Faraday” still, which produces a very high-quality and high-proof spirit that is known for being light, clean, and fruity.

Cask Maturation: The whisky is initially matured in ex-bourbon casks before being finished inMadeira wine casks. This finishing process is a signature of Penderyn and imparts a distinct flavor profile.

ABV: It is bottled at 41% ABV (Alcohol by Volume).
