[QUOTE="Warwick, post: 90504, member: 220"] I bought it purely on a whim and for the novelty...I mean, who ever heard of something as absurd as scotch being made in Wales! But I was very impressed with [b][url=http://www.welsh-whisky.co.uk/home.aspx]Penderyn Madeira Single Malt[/url][/b]. It is aged in bourbon casks and then finished in Madeira casks. Unusual, indeed. The color is very light, and I expected perhaps something like a Speyside but with an overbearing sweetness from the Madeira finish. Upon tasting, though, I was quite surprised and delighted to find it was instead very delicate and refined. Slightly astringent, with hints of green apple, leather, toffee, vanilla. They say it also has flavors of tropical fruits but I can't really find that. It also doesn't have the floral notes that Speysides can have (and which I dislike anyway). I usually prefer Islay scotches, especially Lagavulin, as well as Talisker, so this is quite a departure from my norm. But I could see this becoming a staple alongside those other two. Has anyone ever tried any of Penderyn's scotches? I'm looking forward to trying their Peated version, if I can find it. [/QUOTE]
