Penderyn Gold Range Peated

Gold Range Peated is a more intense take on Penderyn's peated style: more smoke and depth than the Celt from the Dragon Range, with the brand's tropical sweetness still present in the background.

Why I chose this

Anyone who finds the Celt too modest gets this Gold Range Peated from me. More smoke and more depth, while the typical Penderyn sweetness keeps playing along in the background. I like to serve it with smoked salmon at a long summer meal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Penderyn Gold Range Peated get its smoke?

Through a finish in casks that previously held peated whisky. After maturing in ex-bourbon casks, the whisky picks up peat smoke and a salty note in those casks. The result is a Welsh single malt that is clearly smoky yet keeps its tropical fruit and honey.

Is the Gold Range Peated suitable if you have not had much smoky whisky yet?

Yes, though it is bolder than the Celt. The smoke is clearly present, but the sweetness of tropical fruit and honey keeps it balanced. If you want to start very gently, choose the milder Celt from the Dragon Range first and then move on to this 46% ABV version.

What food goes with the Penderyn Gold Range Peated?

Smoked salmon is a classic pairing: smoke with smoke, with the oiliness of the fish tying them together. Grilled pineapple or dark chocolate with sea salt also work well, as they bring out the sweet and salty side of the whisky. Serve it neat at room temperature.
