Penderyn Icons of Wales No 13 Bad Wolf 10 Year Old Single Malt Welsh Whisky 70 cl 46%

Penderyn Icons of Wales No 13 is a special release in the acclaimed Icons of Wales series, where Penderyn pays tribute to significant cultural and historical milestones in Wales. This bottling marks the 10th anniversary of Bad Wolf Studios in Cardiff, one of the country’s most successful film and television studios, and the whisky is therefore naturally 10 years old. It is fully matured in old Tawny Port pipes that previously held port wine for around 60 years, giving it a deep and complex character with pronounced fruit notes and warm spices.

The aroma opens with floral tones such as orange blossom and rose petals, followed by fruitcake, red raisins and fig marmalade. The palate is rich and well‑balanced with dark stewed fruits, lighter fresh fruit notes, toffee, marzipan and a gently bittersweet marmalade profile. The finish is long and elegant with dried apricot, salted caramel and a hint of nutmeg, offering a refined and slightly dry conclusion.

The Bad Wolf release was created in close collaboration between Penderyn and Bad Wolf Studios, where the studio’s team personally selected the casks directly from the distillery’s warehouse. The bottle design was developed by Penderyn’s regular designer Lauren Tutssel and features, for the first time, the iconic wolf in a howling pose as a visual tribute to the studio’s name and identity.

Penderyn Icons of Wales No 14 The Village Single Malt Welsh Whisky 70 cl 46%

Penderyn Icons of Wales No 14 The Village is another notable release in the respected Icons of Wales series, where Penderyn pays tribute to key cultural symbols and stories from Wales. This edition is inspired by the cult classic TV series The Prisoner from 1967, which was filmed in the iconic coastal village of Portmeirion – often referred to as “The Village”. The series is known for its surreal style, strong visual identity and its status as one of the most distinctive television productions in British history. The release is Penderyn’s tribute to both the series and the unique Welsh location that served as its backdrop.

The whisky is matured in a combination of bourbon casks followed by a Madeira finish, a signature style for Penderyn that provides an elegant balance of sweetness, fruit and freshness. The result is a whisky with both depth and lightness, where the distillery’s characteristic clean and fruity profile is allowed to shine.

The aroma offers ripe stone fruits, vanilla, honey and a hint of citrus. On the palate, you’ll find sweet malt, tropical fruits, creamy vanilla and a gentle spicy edge from the cask. The finish is long, soft and fruity with a pleasant warmth and a subtle sweetness from the Madeira cask.

The Village release is created as a tribute to Welsh cultural heritage, television history and Penderyn’s ability to combine tradition with creativity. The bottle design draws clear references to the series’ iconic aesthetic and highlights the connection between whisky, storytelling and place.
