It is a very nice whisky for its age. But it is also a bity pricy too for its age. (Although, many of the microdistilleries less than 10 years old with whiskies on the market are charging a fairly steep price. I guess they’re all trying to get a return on their investment.)

P.S. The Penderyn that I drank was the 750 ml US version that Jim Murray gives a 93, which I purchased at Binny’s in Chicago. He says that it was bottled in Sept 05 although it is not stated on the bottle. The one I have in reserve is Dec 05 which Jim Murray gives an 88. It came from a store in Wales.

John- I have a particular interest in Penderyn. My brother-in-law was born in Wales and last year I made a trip to Wales to visit some of his relatives and, of course, the Penderyn distillery. We drove up to where it was located and searched and searched and finally found it, after having driven past it twice. I went up to the distillery and found a phone where you could call the office. I was told that they did not have any tours so I was out a visit. They said that a year from then they would have a tour available. It looked like a warehouse but had some interesting paintings on the side. I have tried their standard malt and it is very smooth but tastes a lot like an Irish whisky. At $70+ a bottle it is certainly overpriced for a five year old. Perhaps their new product is much better. Hopefully, when I go back they will have the visitor’s center open and I can tour the distillery. I will be sure to find out at Whiskyfest San Francisco next week. I still have one bottle unopened. I love the bottle design.
