The Penderyn Dragon Myth is a vibrant expression of Welsh whisky, fresh, bold, and fruit forward, with a nod to Celtic legend. Matured entirely in ex-red wine casks, it delivers a rounded, full bodied style that still retains Penderyn’s signature lightness. This is a whisky that balances brightness with depth, the myth made real in every sip.

Penderyn Dragon Myth Whisky 70cl
Brand: Penderyn | Category: Single Malt Welsh Whisky | ABV: 41% | Origin: Wales | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Lively and rich. Notes of red berries, ripe plums, and creamy vanilla rise alongside soft oak and a touch of spice, like walking into a patisserie filled with fruit tarts.
Palate: Juicy and smooth. Flavours of blackcurrant jam, baked apple, honeyed grain, and gentle spice unfold over a medium body. Slightly tannic from the red wine casks, but balanced with sweetness and finesse.
Finish: Medium long and satisfying. A fruity farewell with hints of cranberry, oak, and warming spice.

Production Details
Matured entirely in ex-red wine casks, giving it a rich fruit forward profile not commonly found in Penderyn’s lighter bourbon-aged releases. Bottled at 41% for accessibility and smoothness. Part of the Dragon range, Myth leans into the modern and approachable side of Welsh single malt whisky.

Perfect For
Casual sipping, whisky newcomers, and fans of fruitier single malts. Excellent in a highball, or as a gateway into world whiskies with character and charm.

Expert Notes
Myth is praised for its balance of accessibility and flavor richness. The red wine cask influence gives it a distinctive identity in the Penderyn lineup, approachable but never simple.

Customer Reviews
“Super fruity and easy to love. A perfect intro to non-Scotch whiskies.”   Paolo M., QC
“Red wine cask really shines through. Juicy, smooth, and fun.”   Jenna T., Taguig
“Got it for the bottle, stayed for the flavour. Light but not boring.”   Matt V., Cebu

Interesting Fact
The red dragon on the label, Y Ddraig Goch, is a symbol from the Welsh national flag, representing valor and resilience. It’s also tied to Arthurian myth, where the red dragon battles the white dragon in a tale of Welsh prophecy and strength.

Serving Suggestions
Perfect neat for easy sipping, or over a large ice cube to cool and slightly dilute its fruity sweetness. Try it in a highball with soda water and a twist of orange peel for a refreshing Welsh twist.
