- Description
- Penderyn's tenth release in the Icons of Wales series, Yma O Hyd honours the Welsh football anthem and serves as the official whisky of the Football Association of Wales. Matured in American rye casks and bottled without chill filtration, this single malt delivers a full-bodied, warming character with the spice and vanilla notes typical of rye cask influence. The rye wood imparts a drier profile than bourbon cask counterparts, adding textural complexity throughout. A patriotic dram that appeals to those seeking Welsh whisky with genuine substance.
