Tasted this as Day 8 of The Saratoga Whiskey Club Advent Calendar 2020. Every day is a new adventure with a blind tasting, where we each try to guess the country of origin, the type and age of the whisk(e)y, the ABV, and the distillery, followed by a reveal at 9PM. Penderyn is a relatively new distillery - they opened in 2004. And, as of this date, they are the only operating distillery in Wales. Photo courtesy of Charles Grabitzky.
