When Dylan Thomas wrote, “Do not go gentle into that good night,” he wasn’t just penning a poem, he was crafting a legacy of defiance, lyricism, and Welsh soul. Penderyn Dylan Thomas Sherrywood pays homage to the poet’s enduring voice, bottling that same intensity and grace. Each sip reads like a stanza, layered, evocative and unforgettable.

Penderyn Dylan Thomas Sherrywood 70cl
Brand: Penderyn | Category: Single Malt Welsh Whisky | ABV: 46% | Origin: Wales | Vol.: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Rich and expressive, dried fruits, dark cherries, and spiced plums rise from the glass, wrapped in soft leather and toasted oak, like the inside of a poet’s study.
Palate: Velvet-smooth, with notes of sherry-soaked raisins, dark chocolate, and orange marmalade. A hint of clove and nutmeg brings depth, much like the shadows in Thomas’ verses.
Finish: Long and lyrical, sweet spice, oak, and a fading touch of winey warmth that echoes like the last line of a perfect poem.

Production Details:
Matured in both bourbon and ex-Oloroso sherry casks, this single malt draws richness from its dual-cask heritage. The use of the Faraday still ensures a lighter, purer spirit, allowing the sherry influence to shine without overwhelming. It’s crafted with a poetic balance of boldness and beauty.

Perfect For:
Ideal for quiet nights with a favourite book, or deep conversations with close friends. Pour it when words matter and moments linger, a whisky made for those who appreciate art and depth.

Expert Notes:
Released as part of Penderyn’s Literary Icons series, this bottle captures the complexity and emotional range of Dylan Thomas himself. Critics and collectors alike admire it for its literary homage and exceptional cask balance.

Customer Reviews:

Interesting Fact:
Dylan Thomas’ love for whisky was no secret but this is the first officially licensed whisky to carry his name, created in collaboration with his estate.

Serving Suggestions:
Sip it neat to capture its full poetic range, or add a drop of water to let the sherry sweetness bloom. It pairs beautifully with a slice of fruitcake or a quiet reading hour.
