Penderyn 13 Year Old Rich Oak Single Cask (58.1% ABV) has been matured in Buffalo Trace Bourbon casks, before then being finished in an ex-European STR (shaved, toasted, re-charred) cask. According to official tasting notes, it offers a nose of caramel and dark chocolate, accompanied by tropical fruit notes such as melon, mango and papaya. The palate is sweet and jam-like followed by spiciness and notes of oak tannin. It finishes with fruit, such as prunes and sultanas, while the jammy sweetness dries in the fade.
