Penderyn 10 Year Old Bad Wolf Icons of Wales Single Malt Whisky

Part of the Icons of Wales series from Penderyn, Bad Wolf 10 Year Old is the 13th instalment, released in 2025. This release celebrates a decade of storytelling excellence from Cardiff’s Bad Wolf Studios.
The whisky was fully matured in Tawny Port pipes, which are very old and have held port for around 60 years.

    Nose:    Delicate floral tones drift in first, with orange blossom and soft rose petals, followed by the warm, spiced richness of fruitcake. A medley of red and golden raisins, fig jam, and fresh red berries: ripe strawberries and tangy raspberries, both adding brightness and depth.

    Taste:    A luscious blend of stewed dark fruits and lighter orchard notes opens the palate with richness and grace. Sweet and saline dance in harmony, revealing layers of toffee, marzipan and bittersweet marmalade. There’s a remarkable balance here: depth without heaviness, lifted by gentle oak and subtle spice, a veritable pack of flavours.

    Finish:   The finish unfolds slowly, long and evolving. Dried apricot and salted caramel linger with a dusting of nutmeg. It begins sweet and generous, tapering to a dry, elegant close, that will leave you howling at the moon.
