Penderyn Icons of Wales #13 BadWolf

Bad Wolf Production was founded ten years ago (2015) in Cardiff, and has
built up an international reputation as one of the foremost independent film
and TV production companies.

The Bad Wolf story began when Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner decided, with showrunner Russell T.Davies, to base Doctor Who in Cardiff. That was the spark that has led to Torchwood, Sherlock, Merlin and His Dark Materials, etc being located in the Welsh capital. In the last 10 years, Bad Wolf has brought many of the world’s most renowned producers,directors and actors to Wales. This has run in parallel with a firm commitment to the creative sector in Wales to build and strengthen the growing creative community through wide ranging partnerships and training initiatives. Penderyn Distillery is celebrating Bad Wolf’s anniversary by releasing its first 10yo single malt Welsh whisky as the #13th release in its much acclaimed “Icons of Wales” series of limited-edition bottling. 

Tasting Notes
Nose: Delicate floral tones drift in first – orange blossom and rose petals – followed by warm, spiced richness of fruitcake, raisins, fig jam and fresh red berries add both brightness and depth.
Palate: A luscious blend of stewed dark fruits and light orchard notes open the palate. Sweet and salty dance in harmony, revealing layers of toffee, marzipan and bittersweet marmalade. Balance and depth, lifted by gentle oak and spice.
Finish: The finish unfolds slowly, long and evolving. Dried apricot and salted caramel linger with a dusting of nutmeg. It begins sweet and generous, tapering to a dry, elegant close.
