Penderyn 'Icons of Wales, Red Flag' Welsh Single Malt 41%
The Icons of Wales series consists of special bottlings, each one celebrating a person, milestone or event from Welsh history with international significance.
The first edition is Penderyn Red Flag, commemorating the first time that a red flag was raised as a symbol of social protest: during the 1831 Merthyr Rising which ended in the execution of miner Dic Penderyn.The Red Flag special edition carries a passage telling the story of Dic Penderyn, whose real name was Richard Lewis, and the bottle features a specially commissioned print by the artist Andrew Davidson.
Bottled at 41% abv, this whisky is finished in Madeira casks to impart a delicate flavour of subtle complexity. Aromas of fresh apples and citrus fruits intermingle with creamy fudge and sultana raisins in the nose to create a complex yet fresh, clean and well-balanced whisky. This single malt whisky is incredibly smooth and both fresh and rich dried fruits abound. A refreshing malt, it slowly presents a long finish leaving an aftertaste of Madeira cake and sultanas.
