Penderyn Distillery recently announced the release of its Icons of Wales Rhiannon, the latest expression in its highly anticipated Icons of Wales series.
These special bottlings, celebrating a person, milestone, or event from Welsh history with international significance, are some of the brand’s most coveted releases. Only 500 cases (3,000 bottles) of this limited-edition whisky is available in the US.
Penderyn Icons of Wales Rhiannon is named after a powerful enchantress and horse goddess from the ancient Welsh folk tales, The Mabinogi, written in the 11th century and are some of the earliest writings in Europe. More recently, Rhiannon featured in the hit song of the same name by Fleetwood Mac.
The release was distilled in Penderyn’s signature style, using a single copper-pot. The resulting spirit is from a vatting of Oloroso sherry matured with Bordeaux Grand Cru matured single malt whiskies.
Penderyn has also made its mark for the elegant and modern approach to bottling and packaging. Previously, the company garnered much acclaim for the design of its Gold Range, and more recently, Penderyn secured a Gold Medal in the 2019 Spirits Business Design & Packaging Awards for Penderyn Icons of Wales Rhiannon.
Penderyn Distillery’s Icons of Wales Rhiannon (92 proof) is available now for $95.
