Penderyn Serpent Tears - 46% 70cl

Serpent’s Tears is a Llandudno Peated, Smoky Fruity Single Malt Welsh Whisky at 46% ABV.

“From the Viking Longships, the brooding North Wales headland emerging from the fog and mist resembled a terrible and fearsome beast."

"The Great Orme, derived from the Old Norse meaning ‘Great Serpent’ had survived volcanic eruptions, dinosaurs, and the Ice Age, so no wonder it created dread in the minds of these sea-farers, many of who foundered in the tears of the Serpent."

"Nestling in the shadow of The Great Orme, Penderyn Llandudno Lloyd Street distillery has crafted and matured this lightly peated whisky, reminding us of the adventurous spirit of past explorers and the natural beauty of our home.”

Nose: An autumnal day in a glass. Dry leaves, orchard fruits, wood smoke – dry logs on the crackling open fire. Some creamy notes in the background and heavy toasted bread.

Palate: Sweet peat, soft vanilla cream, sugared pancake with burnt edges. Baking apples with the hint of malt and a touch of peppery spice and clove.

Finish: Warming soft peat that lingers in the mouth with a barley sweetness.
