I remember someone asked about Penderyn some time ago, and I quoted "Whiskyfun" by Serge on the Madeira Cask - by the sound of it not a very impressive bottling.
Just saw that an Oloroso bottling is presented in Gauntleys july-newsletter, and this time it DOES sound impressive! So if it is of interest:
Quote: "Penderyn Oloroso Cask 60% £99.50 A clean, elegant, big nose of complex, earthy sherry fruit, nicely balanced with salt(!?) and vanilla notes. On the palate it is superb, full of mouth coating, oily, unctuous, complex sherry fruit, demerara sugar fading into a very salty middle, tangy alcohol with the Oloroso/ nutty Manzanilla notes coming back on the finish. Lovely length with coffee notes on the aftertaste. The addition of a little water makes the nose sing, emphasising its almost coastal freshness! On the palate it smooths and brings out hidden layers of dried fruit and almonds, but lessening the sherry impact. Seriously good." Unquote
