Adelphi Selection Penderyn 8 Year Old 2015 Cask #1177 Welsh Single Malt Whisky is a limited single-cask release from Penderyn Distillery in Wales, selected and bottled by independent bottler Adelphi as part of the Adelphi Selection.

Bottled at natural cask strength of 56.9% ABV without chill filtration or added colouring, the cask yielded only 247 bottles.

Food Pairing: Smoked salmon, roast pork with apple, aged cheddar, lemon tart, vanilla crème brûlée, toasted almonds, and buttery shortbread.

Tasting Notes: A bright, concentrated Welsh single malt combining delicate fruit and citrus character with vanilla sweetness and fresh herbal notes from its first-fill bourbon maturation.

Nose: Fresh-cut basil, biscuit, birch and lemon marmalade, with delicate vanilla and orchard-fruit character.

Palate: Bright citrus and apple character with vanilla sweetness, biscuit and fresh herbal accents, carried by the whisky's full cask-strength texture.

Finish: Lingering citrus, vanilla and gentle bourbon-oak character with a fresh herbal edge.
