Penderyn 10 Year Old Ex-Ruby Port Single Cask (No. 178)

Penderyn, Wales – May 25, 2021: The award-winning Penderyn Distillery, which will open a new flagship distillery on June 1, has announced the release of a new Penderyn Single Cask Single Malt Welsh whisky, exclusively for the American market: Penderyn 10 Year Old Ex-Ruby Port Single Cask (No. 178). The new 231-bottle Single Cask expression is solely available in the U.S. through importer ImpEx Beverages and builds on the legacy of quality and uniqueness that is synonymous with the distillery’s much anticipated Single Cask releases.

Penderyn 10 Year Old Ex-Ruby Port Single Cask (No. 178, 60.06% ABV, RRP US$150) was filled into cask in 2011 and bottled in 2021. After spending 2.5 years in a Buffalo Trace Bourbon cask and 7.5 years in a Ruby Port cask, the result is a nose of red fruits with citrus zest, oily hazelnuts, and dark chocolate, together with dates, figs, and plums. The taste is an oily vanilla sweetness alongside woodland berries such as raspberries and wild strawberries, mixed with plum jam with oak tannins and cinnamon spices. The finish is a fruity sweetness leading to an oaky dryness, with some dark chocolate and black coffee bitterness. The limited expression of 231 bottles can be found on store shelves in CA, AK, TX, MA, NY, CO, IL, and mid-Atlantic states.
