TASTING NOTES

NOSE: A vibrant bouquet of fresh citrus with delicate floral notes. Juniper, distinctly present, blends with subtle spicy touches and a slight hint of cardamom.

PALATE: The attack is smooth and complex, marked by a slight sweetness balanced by lemon and juniper flavors. Spices, including Saigon cinnamon, bring fine depth with a crisp, zesty kick in the background.

FINISH: Medium in length, the finish is marked by crisp, clean citrus touches, supported by a balanced dryness and light earthy notes, leaving a lingering spicy impression.

Swansea became known as Copperopolis from 1720, when 50% of the world’s copper and 90% of the UK’s copper was smelted in the area. Penderyn’s new distillery is now located in the powerhouse of the former copperworks building. This is #12 in the "Icons of Wales" series, bottlings celebrating a significant person, milestone or event from Wales. Drawing inspiration from the Welsh hills rich in high-quality copper, Copperopolis was created to bring wealth from the land. In 1980, copper production ceased when the Hafod works closed, but in 2023, Penderyn Distillery Swansea forged a new future for Copperopolis, once again mastering the elements of Wales to create the precious liquid known as Aur Cymru, the Gold of Wales.
