Penderyn Yma o Hyd / Icons Series Welsh Single Malt Whisky – Big Welsh Character at a Worthwhile Price

Celebrate Welsh spirit, sporting pride and outstanding whisky-making with Penderyn Yma o Hyd / Icons Series Welsh Single Malt Whisky. Created as the 10th release in Penderyn’s celebrated Icons of Wales series, this limited-edition single malt brings together rich flavour, Welsh identity and impressive value in one distinctive bottle.

Named after the patriotic anthem Yma o Hyd, meaning “Still Here,” this whisky carries a message of resilience and togetherness. The song became closely associated with the Red Wall, the passionate supporters of the Wales football team. Made in partnership with FA Wales, it was also selected as the official whisky of the Welsh campaign for the 2022 World Cup, giving it a special place in both whisky and sporting history.

A Characterful Welsh Single Malt with Excellent Everyday Value

At 70cl and 43% ABV, this distillery bottling offers a generous serving size and a balanced strength that makes it easy to enjoy. It is refined enough for whisky enthusiasts, yet approachable enough for those exploring Welsh single malt for the first time. Its memorable story and attractive presentation make it feel special, while its accessible style makes it a smart choice for sharing, gifting or enjoying at home.

Matured in ex-American rye whiskey casks, Penderyn Yma o Hyd gains a lively character with layers of sweet oak, baking spice and warm fruit. Rye whiskey casks are known for adding a gentle peppery edge and aromatic depth, helping this whisky stand apart from more familiar single malts. The result is a flavour profile that feels rich and expressive without becoming difficult to understand.

What to Expect in Every Pour

• Nose: Fragrant honeysuckle opens the experience, followed by baking spices, toffee, caramel, baked apples and ripe pears.
• Palate: Sweet sultanas and baked fruit lead into ginger, clove and soft caramel, with a gentle peppery oak note adding balance.
• Finish: Warm spice, mellow oak and lingering caramel leave a smooth, satisfying impression.
• Style: Fruity, gently spiced and rounded, with enough depth for slow sipping and enough softness for relaxed enjoyment.

This is a versatile whisky that can be enjoyed in several ways. Pour it neat to appreciate the layers created by the rye casks, or add a small splash of water to open up the sweeter aromas. It also works beautifully over ice for a cooler, more relaxed serve. For a simple whisky cocktail, its notes of caramel, fruit and spice can add extra depth without overpowering the other ingredients.

A Meaningful Gift for Whisky Fans and Welsh Supporters

Penderyn Yma o Hyd is more than a bottle of whisky. It is a thoughtful gift for anyone with a connection to Wales, football, music or distinctive spirits. The combination of Penderyn’s Welsh origins, the Icons of Wales collection and the story behind the Yma o Hyd name gives this release a personal touch that standard bottles often lack.

It is also a practical gift choice. You do not need to know every detail about whisky to appreciate its welcoming fruit, spice and caramel profile. Whether presented for a birthday, celebration, housewarming or special occasion, it offers a memorable experience at a price point that makes premium gifting feel more achievable.
