    Good question! I thought it was there after I posted it. Let's try again...

    Does anyone know whether the Penderyn whiskies that Horst reviewed were distilled in one of the Faraday stills or in the distillery's conventional pot stills (or perhaps are a combination of the two distillates)?

    I had the Madeira-finished standard bottling (distilled in a Faraday still) a few years ago and thought it was quite good; it was distinctly different from a single malt distilled in conventional pot stills, which I attributed to the higher proof coming off the Faraday still.

    It seems that Penderyn might be in danger of losing its house style by using conventional pot stills. Also, unless they show some patience in aging the spirit distilled in conventional pots for longer than they have typically aged the Faraday-distilled spirit, they run the risk of producing just another immature, Scotch-style single malt, and we already have too many of those.

    Penderyn says the following.

    However, in 2014 we commissioned a pair of Scottish-style ‘lantern’ stills which allow us to experiment with new whiskies

    So the whiskies that Horst tried should be from the Faraday stills since the pot stills has been there less than three years.

    Thanks. It would be interesting to know what they plan for the lantern-style stills in the future.

    Will be interesting a few more years down the road.
