Penderyn That Try “Icons Of Wales nº4 of 50”

Descripció

That Try is the fourth bottling in Penderyn’s Icons of Wales series. Released in time for the Rugby World Cup 2015, it is a tribute to the greatest try ever scored (aka ‘That Try’), scored by Gareth Edwards for the Barbarians against New Zealand on 27 January 1973 in Cardiff.

Matured initially in bourbon barrels, it was finished in quarter casks which used to hold peated Islay whisky, resulting in a sweet and smoky spirit.

• Appearance: Clean, brilliant honey amber.
• Nose: Mild aromas of peat smoke, early morning at the rocky seaside and warm marmalade-on-toast all compete for our attention.
• Palate: A very fresh and clean whisky, beautifully distilled, gives pleasure from the very first sip. It begins with great sweetness before the smoky, slightly medicinal flavours descend.
• Finish: Slight bitterness follows, that leaves a long and lingering fresh taste in the mouth.
