New Penderyn x Bad Wolf: 10-Year Tawny Port Cask Single Malt

New Penderyn x Bad Wolf: 10-Year Tawny Port Cask Single Malt
Introduction & Overview
Welsh distillery Penderyn marks a unique partnership with Cardiff’s creative studio Bad Wolf through the launch of Penderyn 10 Years Old Icons Of Wales No.13 – Bad Wolf Cask Nr.60 , the thirteenth edition in the Icons of Wales series. Celebrating Bad Wolf’s 10th anniversary, this 10-year-old single malt is distinguished by its exclusive maturation in Tawny Port casks previously used for port wine for around 60 years. The collaboration honors both entities’ dedication to storytelling and creativity, making this whisky a meaningful tribute to Welsh contemporary arts.
Design & Presentation
The bottle presentation, designed by long-time Penderyn partner Lauren Tutssel, prominently features the iconic Bad Wolf image howling for the first time. This visual element reflects the bold and imaginative spirit of the studio, offering a striking and symbolic tribute on the bottle label that complements the whisky’s creative concept.
Maturation & Flavor Profile
Fully matured in old Tawny Port barrels, the whisky’s decade-long aging process enhances its depth with character imparted from casks steeped in history. The extended port wine influence lends this single malt a rich complexity that resonates with the collaborative theme of time, craft, and narrative power.
Master Blender’s Statement
Jane Tranter, CEO of Bad Wolf Studios, expressed the significance of this release: “There is something characteristically badass and unexpected in marking our 10th year of Bad Wolf by having a whisky in our name. I love the idea that while we have been producing hundreds of hours of drama... this ten-year-old whisky has been quietly biding its time, maturing until ready to be appreciated."

Penderyn 10 Years Old Icons Of Wales No.13 – Bad Wolf Cask Nr.60 will be available starting Saturday at Penderyn’s three distillery locations in Penderyn, Llandudno, and Swansea. From Monday, October 13, 2024, the bottle will also be on sale via Spiritory’s online shop.
