The Penderyn Dragon Legend channels the spirit of Wales through bold flavours, rich cask influence, and a name that honours the red dragon of the national flag. This is no lightweight. Matured in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in Oloroso sherry casks, Dragon Legend is deeper, darker, and smokier than its Penderyn siblings, a modern Celtic warrior in a glass.

Penderyn Dragon Legend Whisky 70cl
Brand: Penderyn | Category: Single Malt Welsh Whisky | ABV: 43% | Origin: Wales | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Rich and brooding. Hints of dried fruit, red berries, and dark chocolate swirl with toasted oak and subtle smoke. A touch of leather and gingerbread adds depth.
Palate: Full-bodied and warming. Flavours of black cherry, cinnamon, treacle, and cracked pepper ride on a velvety texture. The Oloroso influence gives a lush, sherried core, wrapped in spice and wood.
Finish: Lingering and robust. The finish stays long with a smoky, spiced fruit note and just enough tannin to keep it grounded.

Production Details
Matured in ex-bourbon casks before a final rest in Oloroso sherry casks, Dragon Legend is bottled at 43% for a bold but approachable profile. Non-chill filtered for extra texture and character, and part of Penderyn’s celebrated Dragon range, each representing a different aspect of Welsh heritage.

Perfect For
Cold evenings, late night storytelling, or gifting to someone who loves a bit of myth with their malt. Best enjoyed when the fire’s crackling and the music leans Celtic.

Expert Notes
Penderyn’s house style is typically light and fruity, but Dragon Legend shows its darker side, richer, more intense, and with whispers of smoke. A great intro to sherry-finished whisky with a unique Welsh twist.

Interesting Fact
Penderyn is Wales’ flagship whisky distillery and the first to operate in the country in over a century. The red dragon featured on the label isn’t just branding, it’s a national symbol from the Welsh flag, representing bravery, resilience, and heritage.

Serving Suggestions
Best enjoyed neat or with a single cube of ice. For extra spice lift, add a splash of water, it teases out more cinnamon and dark fruit. Pairs well with charcuterie, fruitcake, or even a slice of rich fruit tart.
