Fahrenheit 173 - Whisky Ratings
| Whisky | Age/ Vintage | Origin | Richness | Peat/ smoke | Sherry influence | Rating | Comments | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Penderyn Madeira Finish 46% |  | Wales | 6 | 0 | 0 | 87 | The classic expression, aged in ex-bourbon and finished in ex-Madeira casks. Fruity nose with apricot, lemon and sponge cake. Also oak and mint. Quiet but nice. Sweet, chewy, fairly rich palate. Drying, develops oak and lovely fruity notes of apricot, peach and lime. Very nice! Fruity, oaky, nice finish. | | |
| Penderyn Peated 46% | | Wales | 5 | 5 | 0 | 87 | Aged in ex-bourbon and ex-peated Scotch casks. Oaky, peaty nose with notes of citrus, vanilla and malt. Sweet, chewy palate with oak, peat and fresh notes of lemon, lime and peppermint, also malt. Smooth, nicely balanced and very nice. Very nice finish with mint and citrus. Oak and peat at the end. All in all balanced and more-ish. Rather mild for its 46% ABV (might be even nicer at 50%). | | |
| Penderyn Sherrywood 46% * | | Wales | 7 | 0 | 4 | 86 | Aged in ex-bourbon and ex-Oloroso sherry casks. Malty, cereally, youngish nose but with nice notes of dried fruits (prunes, raisins) and oak. Rich, sweet, chewy palate with custard and very nice fresh notes of clementine and apricot. Develops oak and spices (black pepper). Grows quite spicy (but can be tamed with a drop of water). Oaky, spicy, peppery finish. Hot and warming. | |
