One more comment: "We're all students in life. All of us, without exception." This may well be the most profound and inspiring comment ever made in a vlog. It brought a wee tear to my eye. Cheers Ralfy!

I just had Penderyn Madeira Cask, and it blew me away. Gorgeous whisky, or should I say wysgi. Love your reviews Ralfy.

I live in Wales but not Welsh and I love Penderyn. It's a great tasting whisky. I buy it every time it's on special offer because it is a bit pricey for my budget. I bought it for my dad one Christmas years ago and it was the best whisky I'd ever tasted. It's my go to whisky along with Buffalo Trace - a very underated bourbon in my eyes and fantastic value for money if you live in Britain. Cheers!

hello, my name is nick, my dad was a welshman and loved this whisky ! im so happy you did this review !

Just a quick note 'Aur Cymru' means Welsh Gold im a fan of the Penderyn Peated which is non child filtered and 46%

Just back from Wales and took part in the Pendyrn whisky master class, which was cracking. Bought a self-fill cask strength (60.5%) bottle of their peated (finished in Laphroaig casks). A belting whisky and well worth a try if you get the chance.

Thank You Ralfy For Being Respectful big Love From the Welsh Manx Celts Thank You

Considering whiskey had been brewed in Wales about 1,000 yrs before Scotland. I'd say it is more of a Welsh drink

I sodding love this stuff.. Really love it.

Whiskey apart. Very true words, " we're all students in life" love Ralfy for the the thoughtful unpretentious honest reviews without claiming experience of Masterdom. Love penderyn too, I'm here drinking their legend dram and for the price on supermarket offer, it's a very respectable drink even for such a young whisky.

Glen Breton is a really nice single malt. Happy you mentioned it, being from Canada...lived in Nova Scotia for 27 years. I just picked up a bottle of Penderyn last night before I left Scotland this morning. Bought it without knowing anything of it and was planning of having it on my shelf with my "world" whiskies.

Hey, Ralfy. Was good to met up at the Edinburgh Whisky Fringe and I look forward to the fruits of your labours on the rum stand.....didn't try any myself - too much whisky on offer! That Chieftain's Jura Rum finish was quite a find and my fave of the day! Regards. mark

Forgive me, but i have to say this lol... I live near the Distillery, and Penderyn is a rural village in the Cynon Valley, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Wales. It is located near Hirwaun, not Brecon, which is about 20 miles away. For postal purposes it comes under the town of Aberdare in the Cynon Valley in the county of Rhondda Cynon Taff. It is pronounced (pen der inn) Penderyn... and Cymru is pronounced (cum ree).. I hope this helps any future video's you make. Kind Regards.. Geraint..

Brought a bottle of Madeira finish Penderyn whiskey, Found it a bit sharp, but has a nice taste. I might not be a connoisseur like you, but I know what I like and I do like this whiskey

I myself have just picked up a non high street Distillery and online only special wow absolutely spectacular

Reminded me a little of Highland Park 10 y/o (which I can't stand) although this has a sweetness and I really enjoyed it. As you say it will surely only get better with age. I'd love to try the sherry expression of this too!

Good to see you again, Ralf!

Nice review , thanks for doing it. Even though I was born and grew up close to Penderyn, I was pleased to hear mention of my new home town , Victoria, BC. I missed the whisky festival, had I known that Penderyn was there, I may have gone with my Welsh hat & waived me flag! I have to note though that all Welsh words place the emphasis on the last but one syllable, so it's pen-DER-in. You sort of pronounce it like a Yank would! :)

I also found it to be quite close to a mix of Highland and Speyside Scotch whiskies, but my young, underdeveloped palate might not be picking it up right.:)

Just finishing up a bottle of the Madeira cask. I've enjoyed it -- very unique.

Ralfy, can't help but notice that you slurred a few words in this review! Had you been doing some testing earlier? ;) Also I'm going to purchase this.

I live next door to the distillery some older bottles are serious good. Over 2 grand a bottle.

Have never tasted this particular gem of ambrosia from the Brecon Beacons. My Welsh friends in Yr Wyddgrug and Llanelli either hid it from me or didn't taste it either. What a surprise it might be to recommend it to their distinguished consideration from Hungary with a smiling Iechydd Dda!

Hi Ralfy, love your reviews. I was just wondering, what are the small bottles on your table for? Are those some artificial flawours? The bottle on the left looks like a diluter (for paint) a bought recently :)

Thanks Ralfy! I have enjoyed your videos for a few years from the US. Now I have moved to England and look forward to visiting distilleries, then watching your reviews. Just picked up a bottle of Penderyn while visiting Wales this weekend. Very good. The bottle says Peated, but I didn't taste any peat. You didnt mention it in your video. Any thoughts?

Awesome! As much I love Scottish whisky, I agree there is a lot of whisky to be found outside of Scotland that's well worth trying. I can't recall you reviewing any Japanese whiskies. Do you have any Japanese gems you'd like to share with us in future reviews Ralf?

For me this is my "Sandalwood" whisky. :-) Very peculiar nose and taste. I looove it.

It's pronounced "pen-dair-in". Penderyn literally translates to " the head of a bird".

It seems like all distilled spirits are becoming international. Recently I picked up a bottle of gin that's made in San Francisco to give a gin-loving cousin who's getting married. Hopefully I'll get a taste in when he opens it at the reception though I'm not a big gin fan. Getting back to the topic at hand, I've also read that whiskey production has also restarted in England but I'm not sure if they are bottling new make or actual whiskey right now.

I hear you. x

I would wonder what you think about a dutch whisky. There's 2 at least worth a try, MillStone and Fryske Hynder. I prefer Millstone 12 y/o.

Ralfy, any plans to review any of the Penderyn range anytime soon? I bought a bottle a couple of years back and though I liked it at first, I grew a little indifferent to it and haven't bought any since. Now I'm wondering if it's worth buying a new bottle/batch and giving it another go. x

Good review Ralfy. I have a bottle of this and agree that it's pretty good. Not as good as the English Whisky though!!

Currently selling in Tesco for £9.24 per 35cl bottle when the 70cl is going for £33 - surely a mistake? Much to my dismay, only one bottle left on the shelf.

@Meehhh I asked Ralfy about the possibility of upcoming Japanese Whisky reviews a few months back and he said that he does plan to do them in the future. Can't wait.

Great review,again,I take drink for that;)

Well said buttie. Proper tidy.

@ralfystuff Well i'm a bit stupid for not asking what you thought about it. So, what did you think about it? Keep up the great reviews Ralfy!!

2019 and I still not sure if Penderyn have any age statement whiskies!

i have just bought a bottle of the penderyn madeira finish single malt. it says its non-chill filtered its 46% but there is no age statement! :-)

Hi Ralfy ... Is this the Madeira or Sherrywood stuff? Kind regards, D.

@Dotsirammi Cheers!

a few friends of my from scotland usa and other places enjoy the penderyn wisky i touch them they even sead they will get there local pub buy where they drink they loved it

Before Penderyn was a welsh whiskey brand Sun-y-Mor , I believe the distillery burnt down over 30 years ago.

another thanks ralfy!:)

Whe you were in Canada did you get to try Gibson's Finest whisky? (Just curious)

Agreed on the Madeira!

When you're back on Scottish Whiskies, it'd be great to see a review of the new Fettercairns...

The weirdest i've drunk was indian whiskey, cause of the dryness over there, the alcoholpercentage was 60 procent, but had a nice, not to firm malt taste.

You did forget Sweden whisky :)

Slight CHLORINE note?! Doesn't sound that tasty, but perhaps it really adds a dimension of swimming pool?

Ralfy I just won a bottle of this and there's sediment in the bottle. Should I drink it.?

Penderyn is pronounced Pen-Dare-Rin

I tried Penderyn in Laughne in 2010... I absolutely hated it. A harsh, sharp, metallic taste as I recall. I'm very surprised that you've rated it so highly, Ralfy. Is it possible I had one of these early bad ones you were talking about....?

...Malt Myfanwys, haha

The mispronouncing of the product, and obviously the place, is annoying beyond belief. Wish it was possible to correct the audio. However I understand that this would be impossible to change. Also please review the rest of the whisky range. Hey maybe you can get the name correct in a new video.

Load of pretentious bollocks, just like wine & tobacco reviews. Unless of course all you guys have more taste buds than other humans.This type of stuff has been outed many times before as nonsense, especially wine reviewers. Under more scientific conditions people like these are usually proved to be fake.

I dried it and I have to say it is not a whisky...and the so called special still is nothing else than some type of column still. The spirit it self has nearly no taste: so the only difference to vodka is the cask ageing. I'm not even shore if it is confirm to European Law to call it whisky.
